Tribulation.

In the dark of night,

I wake with a fright.

Thoughts of foregone,

Will haunt me until dawn.

Wish I may, wish I might,

To rid of them tonight.

But a can't,

So I shan't.

The memories.. emotions,

drowning me in layers of choking tribulations.

Gasping, panting and silently crying out,

I pray to anyone who will hear my shout.

When the arms of another finally embrace me,

Answering my call with murmurs of assurance and comfort,

I can finally be at peace.

Let the warmth wash over me,

shield me from the pain and misery,

Cover me in silken delight.

Let the nightmares melt away, along with the anguish, worry and stress.

Then let the sandman take me away.
