A few simple words
Jotted down in a hurry
Unaware of the power
Upon my broken heart
How does he know
The right words to say
That waking in the morn
Is equal to rising from grave
Pain speaks first
Sleep cemented my bones
I can’t possibly keep pace
Fear voices out
Don’t go out there
It’s haunted
Desolation rings in
There’s nothing for you
Among the living
At the mercy of evil puppeteer
Untangling the strings
Left knotted from sleep
Dragged through motions
To begin the play
Unsure the direction
Of the threatening day
I look broken
A corpse forsaken
Something thrown away
Lumbering down stairs
Hesitant the strings
Will snag the woodwork
And trip me again
Directed through murk
Scenes commonly clear
Coalesce to a blur
Steered towards light
A white paper
Highlights the obscure
A few simple words
I hope to decipher
How does he know
The right words to say
You’re beautiful
I love you so much
Rest easy today
My darling
My sweetheart
XOXOXOXOXO
I love you my dear
A few simple words
I rub off the sleep
Blink, blink, blink
The words become clear
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me
Unaware the enormity
Of those few simple words
I can open my eyes
I can open my heart
I can move my bones
I can calm the fear
I can find the something
Waiting for me here
With scissors in hand
I sever the strings
And make my own way
My love gave me strength
With a few simple words
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me
