Blood Runs Cold

First
Your blood
Runs cold

Then
You make
Your feet move

And you do

And you solve
And you comfort

And you get

The people
You love
The help
They need

Only later

Do you
Feel

And when you do

The feelings
Take you
To the ground

Where you stay

Until you
Remember
How to breathe
 
And when you are ready
You inhale
And rise up

And steady yourself

For whatever
Your mentally ill loved one
Needs next
