Wails rip my throat
raw with despair
My heart now shards
broken pieces
tearing
free in force
to make me feel
every
single
tear.
His cold body in my arms
It’s a reminder
of a bright light
snuffed out.
His flame flickers
weaker and weaker
gone like the wind
in an instance.
I long to hear his
heart beat like a drum
but its silence is a
deafening blow
and I dissolve into the pain
of his absence.
I’m wondering
If you can save me from myself
Because I’m drowning
And the dark Abyss looks so
Tempting.
Will I see in this black pit of despair?
The night time air calms me
Lulls me into a state of
Security.
And then I see you
In my mind’s eye.
A Rock
A Safe Place.
I fight against the waters
Thick like Spider’s webbing
Around my limbs.
It pulls me down
Heavy, a weight unlike any other.
But you’re here, reaching out.
Your hands grip mine
And the water falls away
Safe and playful again.
You whisper in my ear
Quiet, and oh so loud
Reminding me of Promises
I made to myself.
Without you,
I’d be the wind’s toy,
Tossed amongst the trees
Only to be
Lost.
It’s time to find my own feet
And stand firm.
I know you are there for me
As I try to be for you.
We’ll catch each other
If we Fall
But for now
We stand in day’s light
Far from our Shadows.
