You know when you are trying to say something, and you keep opening your mouth to speak, but you just can’t let the words escape your mouth? They are stuck there. They are hiding. They are uncertain and uncomfortable.
Yes.
life and light,
softly bright,
protect me from the shadows of
my unrelenting hellish fears.
Why are you so afraid to be close to me?
Why am I so afraid to be far from you?
Why are we balancing on this precarious little perch?
Barely touching the surface, when our pool runs so deep.
Your soul sings with mine. We breathe the same sighs. I am filled with the pregnant whispers of our entwining minds.
I am overcome.
I am lost and wandering.
I am sleeping, drowning, floating.
Weeping.
I am ever existing within of this hymn of sighs.
This is how I feel. Faceless and vulnerable. Alone in the dark. Lost and suspicious. Frail and wilting. Cracking in all the worst places.
Useless and weak. Helpless and sad.
So long, hard roads. Wake me up when we’re home.
