Untitled

by @nichole-gryphon

He is a hurricane in my throat. A burning in my chest. A sickness in my stomach. You are the lozenge that soothes my torn up throat, the aloe vera for my singed heart, the calm my nervous belly. You are cool waves that sway me back to safety after his harsh waves of words have carried me so far out. You teach me how to sing again without being afraid of my own voice. You do this by showing me that you are afraid of your own as well, but you still sing above everyone else. And for that, I love you.
