He in The Shadows (Poem)

Little girl I know you're trembling
Lost in a world beyond your control
Everything you know is crumbling
And life is swallowing you whole

I know that your heart is breaking
That you just want to hide in the dark
You can't stop your hands from shaking
Or stop yourself falling apart

I know the water’s closing in
And there is no air left in your chest
You're drowning as you try to swim
In a current that knows no rest

You should know I'll always find you
In the dark, the cold, the night
The touch, the love, you always knew
I'll make everything alright

Those dark lost moments, with the lights off, sat on the open windowsill, there are almost words in the whisper of the night wind, the reassuring voice that's always found me. This is one I have written for me, I say written, this is more of a conscious stream of thought telling myself things.

_{I am away this weekend, and have been just drowning in stuff this week. Gunna get the #tellastorytome round up for authors votes out as soon as possible. Super chuffed at so many entries <3}

No wonder over a 5th (100/477) of the photos have won editors choice!! I might have used this before, but it's just so pretty!

_{For anyone wondering at my lack of... well... anything. A family member died, we sat in the hospital with her while she went. No sorry's or condolences, just wanted to let you know why I haven't got back to you or in case I have missed anything. Having huge issues with my story telling at the moment, but maybe it's just time for a poetry break instead of beating myself up some more. So many of you have been amazing and wonderful and thank you <3 I haven't the heart to get back to you right now. To name a few, @seesladen - as always! <3, @theironfelix @tygertyger @hazem91 @dirge I am so grateful for you! I could write a whole paragraph of people who mean so much to be, there are so many of you out there who's have become the blocks that makes the world a safer, more facable place, you may never know the difference you've made, though hopefully I will be able to sit down and tell you when i'm a bit more put together, so thank you so much to every single one of you. I appreciate you so very much!}
