Kim V. Poetry

I could be here forever with you,
In this tiny little space
That we’ve made.

Cocooned from the world
And all the dark things
That wait for us
In the shadows.

On my own,
I have lived in the grey
With teardrops crashing around me
Like rain.

I have lived in bleakest
Scariest nightmares,
And pushed my fears aside
But I could still feel them waiting.

Haunting me,
Forever haunting me.

And then you kissed me.

And it was like sunshine.

But when you were gone,
I felt the cold creep back in,
And fear take hold again
And I wondered
If this is what it feels like to suffocate.

To breathe air,
But not to breathe you.

To have you,
But not hold you.

And then I fumble
My words when I see you.
Nerves build in my stomach,
And everything feels surreal.

Until you kiss me again.

And then my nightmares
Become distant memories.
And sunset paints my skin.

This is what I think love is,
A kiss that saves.
A kiss that brings hope,
When I’ve had none.

So take your time with me,
And love this fragile heart
And freshly mended soul of mine.

And be the ending to my story.
The one I’ve always dreamed about.

Prompts:
“Teardrops crash around me”
“Is this what it feels like to suffocate”
“Take your time with me”
“Pushed my fears aside but I can feel them waiting”
