Don't run away from pain

When the basket is unstable,

It makes you want to run away

Because it feels like the pain of loving someone else

Starts to claw at your throat

Until you can't breathe

And all you see is the darkness

It's human instinct to crave an escape

From what we fear the most,

To never receive the kind of love

That we truly desire

But we forget the warmth

The moments where our hearts

Collectively knew that it would all be okay

That pain wasn't the full story

And love is the medicine

Not the band aid
