Tell It To My Heart

Summary:

Hotch considers leaving the BAU permanently. Derek convinces him that he should make that decision after he gets some rest.

(title from Tell It To My Heart by Hozier, MEDUZA)

Notes:

wooo back from my godawful and horribly long hiatus! i haven't ever stopped writing, but i did take a very long break from posting. i'm not even home right now and it's 5:30 in the morning and i'm in singapore for a softball tournament (first game at 10:30am gmt+8!!!! t-5 hours)

the title for both chapters are also hozier songs (or semi-original titles with hozier songs contained in them), as is mandatory for a fanfic writer. do they make sense? yes, but perhaps only to me

anyway, i hope you enjoy the poems. this is a two parter and the second poem should be up within minutes.

Chapter 1: all things end (but this is not your time, dearest)

Chapter Text

oh, baby, just stay one more night.
we'll make things right.
the world stopped turning
and our stomachs are churning
and leaving won't change the tide,
so stay by my side.

oh, baby, let's not fight,
not tonight.
let's stay home for a while
until we can smile
without the memories flooding back in
and taking our grins
and ruining our days.
the pain, it stays
but if you let it take you
you'll be someone new.
what am i supposed to say
if i have to wake up every day
and you've lost your life
to someone else's strife?
