Soothe

He didn’t know how he made the voices in my head be silent,
He didn’t realise his presence stopped the raging storm.

He didn’t see how the change engulfed me.
How in control i feel.

Your presence soothed my soul?
Your words hushed the wave and I’m not drowning?

When I breathe out it’s not from releasing unsaid words and thoughts.
My lungs can breathe deeply, freely.
He didn’t understand how he lifted that weight for me.

I feel so free.
Like a candle flickering all night long.

For once I don’t want to listen to her or me.
For once I want your presence to keep soothing me.
