Slow down

Slow down.
Just slow down.
Trust me.
You are running
in the red
and you’re gonna
burn out.
I know.
I have.
Take the deepest breath
you’ve ever taken
and look at what you’re doing.
Does it have to be done
yesterday?
Cause that’s the way you’re acting.
Please,
for me,
take a breath
and slow down.
If the seconds that go by
are so painful,
let me hold you
and we will face them
together.
