For you...

[tirednemo]

She can't sleep.
She tosses and turns,
Her body like her mind -
Never still, even for a moment.

The thunder cracks,
Her memories rumble.
They stain her heart
Like blood scarlet red.

Never resting,
Never silent.
Always remembering,
Always afraid.

A single tear falls,
Followed by another.
The small damp rivers bright with pain
Highlight her beautiful face.

Then, ever so slowly,
Slowly without a sound -
A lone hand reaches,
Reaches out to pull her close.

The lightening cracks,
The thunder rumbles.
She cowers into the arms
That hold her tight.

Wishing...
Hoping...
Praying...
Suddenly knowing
Everything will be alright.
