if a person’s heart breaks into pieces
and gets lost is the dark abyss
of depression and grief
and no one is there
what will that heart believe
about the world
and those who say
i’m your family
your friend

if a mind is fractured
scattered shattered
and full of noise
and no one is there
to listen
to be close
to wait
as long as the storm lasts
until the light breaks the night
what will that mind understand
what will that mind believe
about people
about this world

if a person is at the edge
their heads
so heavy in their hands
their pulse impossibly accelerated
their body rigid and tense
every muscle screaming

stop

and no one is there
to hold them
hear them
believe them
what then
