DESCRIPTION:
now that the treatment
and antidepressants
and seven months sober have built me a bed
in the back of your brain
where the memories flicker
and i paw at the synapses
bright bits of string
you should know i am with you
know i forgive you
know i am proud of the steps you have made
know it will never be
easy or simple
know i will dig in my claws when you stray
so let us rest here
like we used to
in a line of late afternoon sun
let it rest
all you can't change
let it rest and be done
