She sits alone
inside her mind,
a dark corner,
hard to find.
Closed off to normality
of daily life

She hides from me
wanting to be alone'
'but she trembles alone'�,
fears of being
swallowed whole
.
Asphyxiating
from the dark,
she struggles
to her feet, comes to me,
withered and weak

I stroke her face,
our eyes meet.
I pull her close,
we dance in light,
smothering fears

I look down at her,
she is dancing on
my feet, I call
to her, she steps
from me, stands for a
moment, as if complete.

Her eyes fall,
darkness has called
'come back to me'�
I stand in angst,
afraid, incomplete
hoping our eyes
will soon again meet
