It’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

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.

Nailed it

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
