Fastened to the damp stone
Behind my head
Reaching for the tray
The more I fold
The harder you hold
Silently in purple chaos
Calmed by the dripping
Down my back
Closing my eyes
The more I try
The harder we cry
Silently in purple chaos
Filled by the dark air
Cooling my lungs
Raising my ribs
The more you sing
The deeper I breathe
Silently in purple chaos
Quieted with exhaustion
Across my face
Releasing the war
The less you show
The closer we grow
Silently in purple chaos
Buried with the madness
In the hot dirt
Calming my alarm
The less I resist
The sweeter we persist
Silently in purple chaos
Held loosely by your breath
Along my side
Soothed tightly
The longer we rest
The less significant the mess
Silently in purple chaos
