Wilma Neels Poet Light Verse

'sheathe'

I want to wrap myself in your arms
Feel the tension drip away
Like a leaking faucet
I want to leave all my angst
On that hardwood floor
Never to be picked up again 

That might seem trivial to some
But for me 
It is an opportunity to breathe more easily
A chance to laugh from my core 
Instead of pretend
That I can do this on my own
