Dawning Creations

I don’t want to think anymore.

As I watch the walls close in and the sounds fade to white noise,

I can tell you’re questioning what’s going on inside my mind.

Still, with the madness inching outward, grappling for you,

you hold me still as I’m uncontrollably shaking in your grasp.

You change the subject, trying to distract me from the constricting walls.

You promise you’ll stay and never leave.

My sobbing gets louder and louder with each kind word you whisper.

I lean into you and let it all go down.

For a moment everything stops.

The walls are no longer closing in.

I’m looking into your eyes.

You’re not seeing what I am seeing.

You’re seeing a better view.

I see you smiling at me.

There’s no trace of anger or annoyance in your eyes.

I only see understanding and eternal love.

I know with you I am safe.

I know with you, there’s something I can trust in and rely on.
