I lie in bed
Awake at night
Watching him toss and turn
Wrestling with the memories of his past
Frightful nightmares Im sure
The only things is that they were real
It really did happen.
Sweat glistens on his forehead
He moans here and there
Sometimes he wakes ands embraces me
Bringing me closer to him
I have no objection
For I want to comfort him
In any way I can
Although I can not help it
I still feel useless somehow
Lieing next to him
My fingures unconsciensly trace
The scars that started this all.
His breath
And his heartbeat calm
As my closeness gives him security
This eases my mind
But not entirely
For these reacurring nightmares will surley come again
At this thought a tear rolls down my cheek
And my hands seach for his
If only there was some way to remove the pain
To erase those memories
Those scars that bare them
If only I could
I would
But unfortunately I cant
At these sad thoughts I cling him tighter
I cloose my eyes
Not asleep
Because I can not find peace.
That is deserved
