of all the things I’ve promised and felt in my heart I needed to do
when I said I would love you always
and do everything in my power to keep you safe and
fill your world with laughter and joy
no matter what I couldn’t stop from happening
no matter the darkness I couldn’t keep out of our world
no matter the stories I couldn’t keep from touching yours
when I said I would love you forever
no matter what story you brought home
that part was true
I Might Need A Nap
