Revival

Hush, child.

I know what you want.
Close your eyes.
It will all be over soon.
Close your beautiful eyes.
And trust
that it will all be over
so very soon.

Forget every hurt
Every regret
Misunderstanding
Heartache

Think of those moments
of sheer joy
affection and tender love
those fond memories
that you keep locked away
in the back of your mind
that you keep hidden for a rainy day
or at least,
that's what you tell yourself,
you haven't looked back on those
in a long, long while

Think of the moments
when you felt alive
when you felt that in that moment
that you could have died
and it would have meant
the world to you

Now open your eyes,
Child,
Awaken
For you have been
Revived.
