spinning and circling
my emotions overtake me
the whirlpool sucks me under
i can't breathe
i want to scream
my tears are drowning me
i can't speak
i want to call out to you
i hear your voice
a beacon of light
i feel your arms surround me
lifting me
from the depths of my own mind
you embrace me
a torrent of tears
running down your shoulder
you absorb my cries
as though you are the antidote
to my confusion, to my sadness
looking into your eyes
i realize i am still alive
my love for you overwhelms me
tearing through the darkness
absorbing the whirlpool of despair
i scramble to pick up the shards of my mind
to reassemble them
so that i can be complete for you
my angel of hope, of light
most treasured of friends
the truest meaning of life
my Love.
