Boom

To Sean, in my darkest hour.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Something beats

In this ravaged shell.

 

I begin to bleed

Begin to breathe

Begin to be again.

 

I see your eyes

Your fingers grasp

Pulling me from the brink.

 

I beg you please

Don’t let go yet

I am still struggle-weak.

 

I rest now, rest - breathe a moment

Step now, step - one at a time

Forward, forward, back again.

 

“Be yourself,” I hear

“You decide,” you say

Change of POV.

 

You are beside me

Then watch me go

We all walk alone.

 

My soul in flames

Fear burns away

I learn to live again.
