My comforter

My comforter

A Poem by Anne K. Summers

Are you okay with being my foundation when what I want more than anything is to fly away?  
I want to explore and experience and see new things
The strength of my emotions and my desires frighten me
And your arms comfort and soothe me
Are you okay with being my comforter?
My emotions with you are different, but still strong
They are not extreme in the way you experience a rollercoaster, with highs and lows and intensities
But my feelings for you are still powerful
Are you okay with being this constant presence in my life, when I know sometimes I will want those extreme experiences that I do not believe I can find with you
I can find those experiences elsewhere in life, but I feel in a sense that this is a betrayal of you and what we have, for me to have such incredible experiences away from you
because in the end, even though I try not to, each time I have these experiences, it makes me value comfort less and always seek the extreme
but I still want you as my foundation, as the thing that holds me to reality and comforts me
are you okay with being my foundation?

My writing is all stream of consciousness written in the moment, so please take it for what it is. Writing is cathartic for me, and I somehow feel the need to share it with other people. more..
