I awoke screaming your name

The sirens still echoing in my mind

Reaching out for you

Feeling the emptiness in my bed

Rising quickly

Tears staining my ivory face

Thunder breaking the silence

As the lightning flashes across the walls

Shadows dance eerily

As I shudder from the chill in the air

Trembling from fright

I crawl back into the empty bed

Pulling the covers up

Closing my eyes uneasily

I see your face

Troubled and lost

White knuckled I grip the sheet

The phone rings

My heart skips a beat

As I hear your voice on the other end

The was an accident

It wasn’t just my paranoia

Just the bond

Between two people

The knowing of pain

Felt from heart to the other

To be inside someone

Comforting yet frightening

I lay the phone down

Relieved and taking comfort

I like your choice of descriptive words.

Your experience is so nicely conveyed here.

The bond that you refer to here, is indeed a powerful one and very, very unique....and that phone call in the night is oh, so scary..I could feel the fear in reading this..Well done.!

Powerfully written, I too could feel the emotions and aren't you so blessed to be that as one with another. Ellie

Wow you write so vividly I could almost imagine it.

When freedom wisphers your name, it's time to fight for it.

Wow, this is powerful!  I can feel this, in ways I can't explain.  I'm glad you got the phone call.
