As long as it takes

to climb a mountain
into the sky
against your will

bare-skinned and bloody
your breath knocked out by
unspeakable views.

As long as it takes

to make peace with
a new normal
when all your limbs

have been dismembered
leaving nothing but
the heart of you.

As long as it takes

to get used to waking
from a dream
of falling

in a house with no floor
and inside a dream
wake up once more.

I am here

as you cry an ocean
and shed your layers
day after day.

I will cradle you
in this madness
my love and stay

as long as it takes.

Thanks so much! I don’t know the names of poem styles. It’s just what came out.

A love letter to myself Smile
