Sleep
And I will protect you
Through the dark night
I’ll watch you breathe
And when the nightmares
Come for you
Gently I’ll guide you
To safer dreams
I’ll be here
When you close your eyes
And I’ll be here
When they open back up
So for now
Sleep

We all have paths to walk
Whether those paths
Are meant to be walked
~ or not
Is not relevant
This path I’m on
It was never meant
To be walked
Filled with monsters
Of the worst kind
Including me
But this path
Carved before I could walk
Is the path I’m on
I’m not always alone
But still
Always alone
I want you
To walk with me
But I know
You can’t
And so
I continue
To walk alone
Well
~ not quite alone
You will be in my mind
~ and certainly
~ in my heart

In the darkest parts of me
I remember all the things
That I wish I could forget
I remember innocence lost
The good in me torn asunder
Left somewhere less than human
I remember all of the hurt
All of the ache and all of the pain
Until I was broken body and mind
I remember the anger building up
And how it wrapped around me
Until it swallowed me whole
But that’s the thing about
Being broke and broken
If you heal then you heal stronger
No matter how strong I’ve become
Those dark things still live
In the darkest parts of me

The difference between
Lust and love
Between
Deeply caring and in love
Between friend
~ and something more
Just a matter
Of frequency and intensity
The way the heart
Slips from one to the other
Sometimes out
Sometimes in
Some days I feel
None of it
Most days
I feel it all
Take my hand
Slip in
Slip out
Slip in again
~ and again
Slip with me

I can hear the silence
Echoing in your voice
Those words not said
So much louder
Than the ones spoken
The way your silence
Tells me the truth
Your words never did

We’ll dance
Until the winds blow
We’ll dance
Until the rains fall
We’ll dance
Until
~ The thunder roars
~~ And the lightning crashes
And as the storm rages
And the skies scream
We will dance
Until the earth
~ can take no more
When everything around
Has been torn asunder
Then
~ Then the dancing will end
So that we might make love
In the rubble
~ And in the ash
Until that is
We dance again

She closes her eyes
Waiting
For the pain
To go away
But it never does
And so
She just keeps
Absorbing
Filling her up
Until pain
Is all she
Remembers having
She feels
So alone
Living in a world
Just her and her pain
But I take her hand
Gently in mine
And whisper
Into her ear
You’re not alone
Open your eyes
And let me share
Your ache
My shoulders
Are strong
Let’s walk
Through this dark
Until it’s passed
