Trauma love

—an understanding of uncertainty in uncommon circumstances

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

you need me to unchain us, I’ll break the glass and texture our dreams

Like safe houses

Not wanting to have walls

I just want you

I just want you

I never thought I wanted anyone

But here I am by your side

You make me so happy

You light up my eyes

You heal the cracks inside,

I know you have so much trauma

You saw me when I died

But here I am

I will sink with you in the dark

Until morning

We will live in our hearts, in mourning

And unconditional, uncommon,

We won’t let a time locked wall of terror knock any of us down,

We build each other up

We are each other’s safe house and we are still working even in these uncertain

Uncommon

Circumstances.
