Mind torn, nightmares rage
Battles won and lost, replaying constantly
Brothers falling in bizarre positions
Surprise or disbelief on pale faces
Decades of rending pain
Assail my screaming soul
Things half remembered rearing up
Superimposed, making a surreal view
Kneeling, my arms around her waist
Eyes closed tightly wet with tears
Her hand stroking my head
As she gently croons love
In words that don’t matter
Her love a healing balm
I have found a haven
I have found an angel
Peace finally in sight
She saved my heart and soul
My Lady faire
