Denial

In the light, I hid you.
Any artefact that remotely reminded me of you,
I bundled up and tucked away in the cobwebbed back corner of the wardrobe.
I hid you in the far recesses of my mind.

But in the dark, you burst free.
Breaking your confines, you seep through my subconscious.
Every night you visit me in my dreams
And we are together again.

3am confessions

There we lay,
under a blanket of darkness.
Both of us afraid of things left unsaid.
The moment stretched on,
enveloping us,
cocooning us.
Gathering my courage, I softly whispered what my heart knew
but my head had not yet realized.
And through the darkness you erased my fear.
In your answer I found my peace.
