Speak softly and make my ear tremble.
I'm so sorry if I cannot hear.
For once I am so lost
and so afraid.
Breathe heavily next to me so that
my stiff body melts into the sheets.
My apologies if I do not feel.
I'm taken away, for only a moment.
For only a second.
For only a minute.
I'm taken away from this world,
and put in a small room.
A small room in a big castle,
and the large stones are made of only scenes,
and snippets.
And fragments.
Of the darkest corner,
of my young psyche.
So if for just a moment,
your finger tips are on my waist,
making my entire body shatter.
I want you to remember that I apologize,
for being lost for a moment,
to explore the mind
I once knew.
