Jekylle's Sounds

Jekylle’s Sounds

Sounds collide with my own,

Resting in my room, heart thundering.

I look ahead to a new horizon –

Her eyes fluttering on the brink of a seizure.

I remembered to whisper words in her ear

To comfort, to remind, to condemn.

And then she held me there, her love,

Her arms and her embrace like iron clamping

My lungs but steadying my pulse.

Jekylle's needles sticking in, holding the skeleton

In place, she clamped my body together again.

She repaired the damage done, she claimed

All the things undone and more –

Back-stabbing, reclaiming, driving thoughts deeper.

Singing a song never heard before, in my mind

She dismantled the pain I contained.
