Pieces and Fragments - 2. just another day
possible triggers - night terrors
the sun rises
and my head is hungover
with remnants of the nightmares
that plagued my sleep
he is here
he is always here
head thrown back
as his body shakes with raucous laughter
at my expense
I close my eyes
only to see his face
my body quakes with fear
as I hold back screams of terror
too much therapy
yet the scene continues to play
empty medicine bottles
that held empty promises
that the current one
was the right one
the sky dims early today
and the air turns to frost
it is beyond me
and yet – on this day –
I have no concern
desires for freedom
lead to hope
and hope frays the edges
of my heart
until I can bear no more
and long for a tomorrow
that never arrives
but stays as black
as my very soul
