close at heart

close at heart
there is more i want for me
and you        need more, i see
please help me find my
peace       Find out where i
meant to be

    wishing
it was ours
i see you in my dreams
dancing by the stars
       i keep you
close to me
so i can hear
your heart
hold your hand in mine
to keep us from
being
pulled
apart

Waking up.

For so long, I could only hear the screaming. it rang in my ears filling my head with noise from dawn to dusk When night fell, the screams fell away too. when the screams stopped     only silence. I couldn't decide       which one was worse. it became madness every time light broke so would the silence I never needed an alarm clock. when they would fade I sometimes found myself missing them. at least with the screaming, I couldn't hear the sorrow. nights brought far too much quiet. left me too much time to hear the sadness beating in my chest. Without them, I felt emptier. Like a part of me     was waiting to be filled. For far too long, I lived with them they drowned out    the noise of my struggling existence.

My tongue feels swollen, sticking to the roof of my mouth as it chafes the sides of my cheeks. My head pounds mercilessly, beating in time to the rocky movements of the car. I pry my eyes open, the nerves screaming in pain and resentment. The world in front of me is out of focus, blurred around the edges, maintaining a dreamlike quality until I blink furiously. The dusty gray upholstery comes slowly into view. My arms ache, hands tied behind my back, the rope carving rings into my wrists. “Winter's end, promises of a long lost friend, speaks to me of comfort. But I fear, I have nothing to give. I have so much to lose.” A strangled moan escapes my lips, tears prickling my lifeless eyes. My legs, curled underneath my bound hands, cramp and burn with pain and sorrow. The haunting music turns to st...
