Night Terrors, Fevers, and Seizures
Demons come into our house at night
To steal our hopes, dreams, and maybes
The tears, the heart ache, despair come in those dark moments
A child screaming, deep asleep, trapped in terror
Scared of windows, shadows, voices, sensations and sound,
You pray for kind and understanding neighbors
Loose tears still flowing, shivering in your arms, clawing at your wrists
While you're slowly reassuring and silently praying,
You realize this may never get better, it may never be outgrown
A Mother's Despair released in the quiet darkness
Silent tears and loneliness sound so loud.
Kneeling, holding his hand, my Son suddenly says: "It's okay mom, I love you."
A little boy's love lives here. Demons do not.
