Suspended By The Light

Have you ever felt engulfed in the darkness, suspended by the light above?
Yet all you can see is darkness, all you can feel is empty.
The whispers call to you, the words caress your face like a lovers first kiss.

Trapped inside you a feeling of loneliness.
On the inside I ache for home but on the outside yearn for change.
To feel my heart beat again with the sound of whispers.
When I look around at this vast empty space
I wonder when it was I fell into my slumber.
His face is what called me awake.
His whispers that softly caress my face as I sleep,
that make my heart beat when he wonders in on one of my thoughts.

I can see him as he walks in circles in my mind.
Will we find our way home?
Will our vast darkness merge into one
so that the light we are both suspended upon will raise us above ourselves.

Suspended by the light

The darkness is where
we feel the safest...
because clenched in its arm's
nothing can touch us.
We teeter in between the light
too afraid to become it,
to afraid to abandon it
& leave the
numbness behind.

With fear comes pain,
with pain comes comfort,
without it there could be
no love--but love is the thing
that hurts the most.

.. To look at you makes me cry,
to touch you makes me weak,
to love you would stop the hands
of time.
Love me
