Day 311/365: I Know It Is A Song

I know it is a song
Complete with wheels of unheard beat swinging beneath
But these lyrics feel like a letter specially written for me
The rises and falls
Sync with my breathing as I listen more closely
The voice, deep as my sadness
Seem to have reached down to me
To save me

I know it is a poem
But these stanzas have adopted me as their own
They have hugged me out of my sadness
And strung me along every word
Though they make my eyes water
I have no doubt that it was made for me
Made to save me.
