if you are hurting

just lay still

and let the dark

fade back

the illusion of

the pain

the distraction 

of the day

the deafening silence

of the night

baby I'm beside you

feel my cheek

against your soul

somewhere I am 

quiet there

falling through

my own dark too

and listening to

the secret fears

that you're afraid

to tell

listening to the sounds

alone speaks 

to itself

and holding you

to this heart

inside the interverse 

where the memories

of unseen

are remembered

as much as made

and written in

the etchings

of sacred light

that need no witness

to make the universe

believe

defiant existence

beyond this time

that cannot

be forgot

that cannot break

in dream
