Poetry: Comfort

by Alexis Jardin

Created on: October 31, 2010

I do not normally feel so strange

yet with the phone pressed close to me ear

the words you spoke, my mind they derange

Fear had gripped me for so long

not knowing what to do

if what I feared had been true

Your voice and that sentence

my heart skipped a beat

inside both my stomach and mind

were an unfamiliar heat.

I have nothing to fear now

in fact all of it was in my head

I have begun to wonder

what was there to really dread

It was a false alarm to be sure

yet thanks to you I've been reassured

in time when its right

we'll be ready and I won’t be afraid

because with you I know

a bright future has been laid
