Click hereIt’s a nightmare
That wakes you
You’re sweating,
Stomach cramping
Shaking with its terror
The lingering fear
Keeps you in your bed
The covers pulled up
Hiding from life
Hiding from the beast
That invades not just your sleep
But now you’re waking thoughts too
Afraid to move a muscle
To make a sound
Don’t inhale
Don’t exhale
Don’t shake too much
Hold your stomach
Don’t let it quiver
Hold it in
Hold the fear
Don’t let it know
Pretend you’re asleep
It’s not there
It’s just a nightmare
It won’t know
Don’t let it ever know
Ignore the ringing in your ears
Don’t let the fear in
Push it away
Further away
Snuggle deeper
Learn to breath
Relax the mind
Open the heart
Don’t be afraid
To face the fear,
The terror and panic
That holds you in the nightmares grip
Face the fear
Let it in
Be open to it
Control the feeling
Enjoy it, when offered
It’s how I love you
How do you put your love out here like you do? you have gutts Cinderella. I will give you that
This is the part of love that no one ever wants to admit to feeling. You've described the terror perfectly, Cinders. Thanks for sharing the terror.

Perfect Cinders... you get just right the fear which comes from being in love, from being that vulnerable to the whims of another, from trusting that much... nailed it perfectly hon..... Lily
I loved it Cinders, love all your poems, find them intense, heart breaking and gut clenchingly funny... keep writing, you are a true poet of the heart!
