Please Be There

So I had this dream. It wasn’t quite a nightmare but it was tariffing.

I fell. From a very high place. I don’t think I jumped but as I’ve woken up I cannot remember.

I crashed to the ground now broken and bleeding. I don’t remember screaming but I needed help. I wanted help. Which I feel is important. If I had thrown myself down I wouldn’t want help.

I had to force myself to crawl. I pulled my broken body across the ground in the only direction I thought you might be. I crawled as I bled along the floor. I crawled as I cried and no voice came out. And when I got to where I thought I’d find you. To my only hope. You were not there.

So I rolled over bleeding and alone. Unable to save myself and afraid to die.

As I laid there starring back the way I’d come you opened a door that I hadn’t seen. You ran to my side and shouted my name.

And I think you saved me, but I can’t remember.

That’s when I woke up.

You were there for me in my dreams.

You were there when I could have died.

I want to see you in my dreams.

So you’ll be there for me in my nightmares.

Please be there in my worst moments.
