My mind is high up somewhere today. In these clouds maybe, too far for me to reach. It leaves me dizzy, desirous... I feel so sleepy. I crave sleep, for a deep, still pool of rest, in the arms of love. To feel protected and safe. I want to be guarded like a vast treasure. Where is my knight, the one where I see my reflection in his armor, where I see burning eyes and burning hands that love throughout the night... Where's someone to always be there?
And I know. Believe me, I know.
I should look inside myself for these things, create my own light for this dark place inside of me. But I don't want to become The Hermit, and carry this flickering lantern in the dubious storm of myself, where there's snow and sleet and bone shattering winds, forever to wander alone.
I want to find my puzzle piece, my chemical solution. There must be a cure to this plague of loneliness. Someone to be the balm that eases the pain and whispers... "No more, no more. You are safe here, with me."
