The Dark Poem by Alandra Nicole Moreira

Standing in the dark
I hear the beating of my heart
You're the only one, I trust to be here
But right now I feel so scared

My past keeps oming back to me
It's haunting me and making me afraid
So many times it was unpleasurable for me
And I start to step away

Your hand reaches out and you touch my skin
It reminds me of things that have already been
I realize that you won't hurt me
But you just say you understand

I'm standing in the dark
And I'm feeling so afraid
I reach back out for your heart
I know that as long as I am with you
I'll be safe
