Until There are None
You wake with a fright,
it’s a nightmare again;
but this time I’m there
to see your eyes open.
I now take your hand as
fear drains from your face;
you’re here with me
in a much safer place.
When our eyes meet,
my hand you squeeze;
you move close and say,
"Just hold me please."
Your warm body shakes
as I hold you so tight;
my prayer is to God
please, take away this fright.
I feel your heart beat
and I caress your back;
kisses on your neck
in night’s sea of black.
The healing is slow,
still leaving some scars;
but when I look in your eyes
you have come so far.
Our love has grown
yet because of it all;
you wrestle with the demons
and sometimes there’s a wall.
I know it’s not the present
we’ll deal with that as it comes;
chasing nightmares together
until there are none.
