Careless Whisper

Standing alone
In a quite place
My heart beats loudly
Nearly escaping my chest
In hear your voice
And my skin crawls
In the darkness that
Threatens to swallow me alive.
Your careless whisper
Rips into my skin and
Ruptures my ears
And you stand by
Watching me bleed out.
But I have divine connections
That saved me this time
And every time
From all the madness
You brought into my life.
Eyes wide open
Drenched in fear
I wake in a panic.
Another nightmare.
Except it isn’t.
It happened.
But the haunting remains.
Tear stained and
Rightly gutted,
I lean into the truth of
Who I am.
And your victim is not
On the list.
I survived you
Because…
Love made me.
Love sustains me.
Love connects me.
Higher.
Love saves me.
Love grows me.
Love is me.
And I pray love over you.
