I push you back against the wall
Frustration builds and you feel small
In my wake - about to break
The voice in my throat usually so kind
Is tight like chains that forever bind
When I speak - no longer weak
"Don't you even think I had an easy time those 12 long years!"
My eyes are bright with pain and tears.
Yours are wide - caught by surprise.
"I lost you all in one dark night."
"Contentment turned to lonely fright."
I look at you hard - "We both are scarred."
"Sure you were locked up, but so was I.
Screaming, moaning, I want to die."
I was trapped in the cage of my mind
Bars of burning silver flashbacks, memories
I dare not touch.
Drugs and alcohol, my crutch
Memories from not long ago -
Rusted knife and blood-red snow.
Finally I show you my slashed up arm.
Evidence of my self-made harm
At last and finally you believe me.
Believe that I was telling the truth.
When I said I felt your pain.
When I said I understood.
I told no lies.
Suddenly you take my hand.
Melt into my eyes.
Melt into my very being.
Brought together by kindred pain.
Made one by common bane.
I had to sacrifice my pride and show you my scars.
But it was worth it to be free from bars.
Even if only for one night in the solace of your arms
The only place I truly feel safe.
God, I've been absent far too long
But now I'm back where I belong.
With you
I kiss you fast and hungrily, laughing with relief.
Somehow after all this time you remember how to make me shiver.
My hands are tangled in your hair
But I find I just don't care
We have both been dead so long
Stripped of whatever made us strong
Threadbare sheets hint at the thin bodies under them
Four soft words - "I've missed you Rem."
That's all it takes to start the flood of tears held in so long
I lean into you, breathe in your scent, so sweet and strong
You hold my head gently to your chest,
Running your hand slowly through my silken hair
My hand reaches across to caress the spot between your neck and shoulder
A soft sound in the back of your throat tells me you approve
We've made it through the battle, made it through the strife
As the sun rises we smile at each other knowing -
We've come back to life
