be still my love

it was 6am and sleep was fraught with nightmares, so i woke
it was 8am and the world started spinning, so i slept
it was 11am and the world was accusatory, so i slept
it was 1pm and the sighs tears fears threatened to explode, sunshine fireworks
so i slept
it was 3pm and the ceiling had many new details not there before
it was 4pm and the ringing phone was frightening
it was 5pm and the door was so far away
it was 5.30pm and the face in the mirror ugly as always
it was 6pm and well meaning people interesting news compelling tunes hard work's evidence swam in pools of texts on the screen
it is 6.30pm and the darkness beckons again.

save,
me
