Oh you heard I was struggling, you saw it on my face Took three weeks to notice but hey, better late You said "let me know if you need anything at all" Left before I answered, didn't leave your number, thanks for the call You said "I don't know how you do it" like that's a compliment Like the fact that I have no other option is an achievement Sent a gif of someone breathing and a link to a meditation app Checked your good deed off the list and waited for a pat on the back So generous So thoughtful So moved by my situation From a very safe And comfortable And convenient Distance Oh thank you for your thoughts and prayers For the advice you gave me uninvited on the stairs For the "you should really try to get more sleep" and "have you tried to just relax" Thanks for all the nothing wrapped in concern, I'll send it back I'll send it right back You said "I've been thinking about you" which must be exhausting work While I was actually living it you were troubled by the thought You reposted something about self-care with a heart emoji attached Like a Pinterest board of candles was exactly what I lacked You said "honestly I don't know how you haven't lost your mind" Funny neither do I but here we are, I'm doing fine You said "you need to set some boundaries" which I would love to do Starting with this conversation, starting now, starting with you So insightful So helpful So fluent in my problem From a very dry And very warm And very unbothered Position Oh thank you for your thoughts and prayers For the advice you gave me uninvited on the stairs For the "you should really try to get more sleep" and "have you tried to just relax" Thanks for all the nothing wrapped in concern, I'll send it back I'll send it right back And look I know you mean well I know the gesture's real I know you saw the water rising And you wanted me to feel Seen But seen and helped are different things And you chose the easier one So keep your good intentions Keep your concern I'll keep getting it done Thanks so much Really means a lot Couldn't have not done it without you Truly
