A Scream In The Night

In the middle of the night
I wake up into a nightmare
‘Where are you, where are you!’
Completely panicked
My soul screams your name
Screams for you
My heart beats fast
‘Where are you, where are you!’
I shout into the dark
A wave of pain in my body
I have been amputated

And later in the morning
With the scream still in me
I look in the open sky
if you have left a sign there for me
‘Where are you, where are you!’
I look everywhere
And it’s better not to do it,
but now I just try to silence
the scream within

And then I remember
how we promised each other
to stay strong, to stand strong
to believe
and have blind faith
