He completes me, with a subtle air

That surrounds us both, like a cocoon

He wraps his arms around me, I find

Solace and safety, knowing this

Will always be our lives, together

As close as two can possibly be

We are equal, spirits, lovers, friends

Lifetime partners, sharing hopes

Dreaming of tomorrow, rejoicing

Our world is one, as we are one

A single entity, an unending bond

Sleep escapes me

 

Dare I close my eyes?

 

Only to fade into the darkness, that
Suffocates my soul, terrorizes my mind
Thrashes against my being, until I
No longer fight it, but welcome it
Draw it further into my heart, let it
Rip me apart, tear at me, and I
Locked in a cocoon of sweat, succumb
To the sweetness that is the night
The passion and desire of the dark
Knowing, eventually, I will awaken…

 

I will, won’t I?

I can almost reach it

The place my heart wanders

Where my soul endlessly flies

In and out of the darkness

Happier to hide in the craters

And follow the shadows, then

Watch the sun creep up, as it

Illuminates that famous face

While I, content to remain here

On the dark side, where no one

Can see me, as I dodge the light

Allows me to become a shadow

Blending in with your surface

Feeding off your moon beams

Reflecting, with the stars, gathering

Dreams, listening to my heart and

Realizing, I never wish to go home.

A pixie could daydream her days away

Never noticing the time pass her by

And even the fairy who lives in the clock

Has to come out, occasionally, and try

To wake her, from her dreamy state

This is no easy task, for one so small

So, she decided to sit there, daydreaming, too

Into the night, tis when you dream, after all

The medication is beginning to wear thin

Night terrors return, with a frantic fury

Evoking strange visions, conjuring the dark

Encapsulating me, like a jail cell, but the bars!

Claustrophobia has nothing on these feelings

Like solitary confinement, there’s no escape

I’m trapped in my own fear, flailing my arms

Still you sleep, with me screaming on the inside

And you not hearing on the outside, please wake up!

Unlock this oubliette, find the door to set me free

I call your name, no response, the silence deafens

My heart, racing, beating, as it longs to release

Scattered breaths, this taunting inside me

And when it finally does, I am spent, and you wake

Realizing, this is my life, this is how I cope with it

I panic, it attacks, with no cavalry to rescue me

No savior, only me, finally fighting my way out

The easiest way to deal with this, is to not sleep

So I don’t, and I won’t, and I can’t live like this
