Wake Me Up

A poem.

You are a concept With no human name That gives me nightmares.

The drop in the pit of the stomach Tingling toes and fingertips Heartbeats banging against the chest.

I want to run Desire and terror tangle at My feet and bring me down.

I don’t need a savior I have already lived enough life To save myself.

Wrap me in warm words Heated by the flames in your soul I’ve been cold for so long.

Wake me with your kindness A fresh start despite my scars I want to believe in love.
