Work Text:
A starless night,
I set out to befriend my mind.
We talked, we laughed, we cried, we smiled.
We were becoming best friends.
One day, suddenly, she stopped listening to me.
I begged I yelled, it seemed like it was someone else.
I pleaded her to let me in.
'No', she said.
I had to leave.
Over the years,
I had built a comfortable home inside my head.
A little sweet, a little warm,
It had become my favourite space.
But where does one go, when home,
Begins to feel unsafe?
Noise, chaos, burning houses.
I run, I run fast.
I want to go home.
Once again, I knock on my mind's door.
Fear, darkness, screaming voices.
Dark blue, cold, bleeding disruption.
I run into the fire.
Warm hugs, comfort, soothing voices.
I remember them.
Affirmations, sweet affection, whispered reassurances.
I want to give them to you,
If only you'd listen to me.
I want to come home to you,
If only you'd let me in.
I'm waiting right here.
I'll wait for as long as I have to.
I want my friend back.
I'd just started to love her,
When she ran from me.
But I love her just enough to know,
She'll come back to me.
