struggle
struggle
ripping tearing thrusting free
swamped held under
fights with dead
clawing reaching holding on
shredding what is left of thought
night mares so ring my head
must grasp hold cling to soul
as dreams of horror strip my mind
free!! at last light of day
waken to thee still so near
but wait an empty bed my sight
stopping heart nightmares again
light from under
closed bathroom door
breath sigh of relief
fears no more
simple ?
but no less real for that
one of thousands
joys in day
just to know u are yet close
to know u are near
as my love my life
so much more my wife
