The Room

By Sophia Bishop

Darkness comes, at as it is supposed to be,

I am locked alone in this room, its just you and me.

Something gently whispers through the pitch black dark,

are they tales of a journey, a path for which I should embark.

No alas those are not the whispers I hear,

Whispering sweet nothings in a soft breath into my ear.

That voice, that sound and the scent is clear,

It's you, my heart, my soul, with you I have no fear.

Its strange, confusing this feeling I have inside,

I do not feel the need, the drive, the urge to run and hide.

Am I safe inside this troublesome world at last,

Are you torment or my freedom from the past.

I know finally, the answers despite not being mine,

I am lost within you happily until the end of time.

You are the answer, the word and the rhyme,

That sound, the beat, the rush within this heart of mine.

So reach out and touch me with a single kiss,

One that will last forever, locking me in this life of bliss.

You have quelled the darkness within my achy heart,

You made me forget all the things that tore me apart.

And so I whisper softly into your ear,

Sweet gentle words I hope you want to hear.

You are all that makes sense within my life,

You have dulled every word that cut like a knife
