it comes when no one expected it the most
it's lurking,
watching your fragile steps in fast-paced,
following you.
they only attack when you're lost,
full of doubts, vulnerable in your sleep.

then, the peak.

when it left you puzzled,
questioning your mind,
"is it real or is it a fantasy?"
'cause it haunts you as if it's real
the colors are vivid
the feelings are untamed
the heart is at its openness

in your dream
you saw me drowning
in the deep water, gasping for breath.
you saw the world at its worst, you recalled your early days where you cry out in absolute silence.

"it could be real! it must be!"
you thought.

but it is not.
i can assure you,
it is not what scares you.

tell me your nightmares, darling
cry, bleed, ache
let me kiss you and
send your sleepless nights away.

although you're afraid of it,
let me love you as you are.
believe me when I say,
I will never leave you.
