I have a cluttered mind
Thoughts bouncing off the walls
Echoing in the darkness
It is like a song on repeat
It just keeps going and going
I wander through carefully
Like tiptoeing through a mine field
Afraid to wake your memory
But it is there
Staring at me
Demanding to be seen
Heard
Felt
Instead of fearing it
I take refuge in its warmth
There were good days
And there was love
That I will always treasure
Wrapping myself in these old feelings
Is like coming home after a trip
So glad to be in your own domain
Free to do as you want
I silently cry because you’re gone
And whisper to you
A happy birthday
To my one and only love
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – refuge
This is such a beautiful poem Leigha.
