She woke with a start
Oh god no not this again
Reality and fantasy she could not part
The nightmares were back, here again.
Terrors that made her scream in the depths of the night
Memories she could not block
Mental images imprinted on her sight
What had broken the once secure lock?
You were there
To sooth "shush baby shush, you are safe here with me"
Stroking your fingers down her cheek, through her hair
Your the reassurance she needs you see.
She was an emotional wreck
Until you came along
Massaged her neck
Soothed her with loves sweet song.
