Such calm has come over my very existence.
Like a sweet low, simmer that travels throughout me.
I cannot even begin to tell you why I feel this way.
I will try in the only way I know of, with words.

My mind and heart feel at rest for the first time in forever.
They seem to have finally come to an agreement.
An agreement to stop the never-ending battle
Between the two of them

I think perhaps the sweet peace I feel, this calmness
Has much to do with the realization I have finally reached.
The realization that the chaotic feelings I have held inside
For so long were never necessary.

I realize that it was I all along that tortured myself.
All of the pain that I put myself through was self-inflicted.
Why do we do this to ourselves?  
What do we think to gain from such punishment?

So now, I rest in sweet peace and my heart smiles inside.
I see that all of the feelings I have for you
Feelings that run deeper than any chasm on this Earth
You have returned all along.
