Awakening

she sits in the dark
so unsure and so afraid
secrets, dark, unremembered,
coming awake as she dreams,
fighting so hard to keep herself
only to give in to someone else.

he lays in the dark
so unsure and so afraid
her secrets dark and horrid
he watches as she dreams
being pushed away as she fights
so hard to keep herself.

both awake in the light of morning
neither knowing what to say,
she afraid of horrid truths
he of being pushed away
silence so deep, movements wary
loving turned to pain, cutting and scary.

we are doomed he says
she trying not to believe
neither knowing exactly what is wrong
can't fix if i don't know she says
he trying not to hurt
pain turning to doubt and tears
love doomed to weeks not years

This was so beautifully written, and heart-wrenching... Thanks for sharing with us, Annie!

I agree with Spryo.  It's beautiful and heartwrenching.

As for the getting it right part...does anyone ever?
