'confusion - Swept Away'
slowly opening my eyes,
just darkness in front of me
slowly reaching out
for something familiar
next to me,
all I feel is emptiness
in the distance I hear
a voice,
your voice,
vaguely calling me
I wish the darkness would just give way
just a little so I can see you
just this once
bemused I try to answer your call
opening my mouth
no words I hear
finally realizing something must be wrong
why can’t I hear my own voice?
why can’t I see in front of me?
why am I surrounded by darkness?
“why do I feel so confused?”
suddenly all I wish for is to
wake up and realize
the darkness
was just a dream,
to feel that something familiar
feel your warmth next to me…
to feel the confusion
being swept away..
