Sweet girl

Hug your knees, collapse to the ground,
cry sweet girl until your river runs dry.
until your throat becomes a desert.

hug your knees sweet girl,
cry until your river runs dry.
keep the chamber in your chest from rupturing further.

breath sweet girl,
hug your knees,
cry until your river runs dry.

cradle the ache in your soul,
sooth it sweet girl.

Close your eyes sweet girl,
take that last breath.
