Beneath

So far below, so

Far below

Where heartbeats' echoes

Cannot reach

Where breath

Cannot even

Whisper

This is where you find me

In this place where

Voices

Are a blur

And feeling

Is memory

You step down to me

Your hand outstretched

Palm open, inviting me

Home, safe

If I am strong enough

To touch your skin

If my fingers don't

Break

When I try hold you

How I hope

I'm strong enough
