It has been a long and tiring week
Since she heard the heartbreaking news
Which made her teenage nightmare
Come to life in the here and now.
Her thoughts and emotions
Shroud in darkness
As fear tries it best to claim her
Making her its unwilling fatality.
He takes her in his arms
Pulling her against his chest
Gently kissing her forehead
As he whispers, “It’s going to be alright.”
She looks up at him and softly smiles
Before softly kissing his chest
Knowing full well he’s as nervous as she is
But putting on a brave face.
Whilst she knows there are no guarantees
His strength and reassurance
Unshakable love and support
Helps her cling to her faith.
She takes his hand holding it tight
As he whispers, “You are stronger than you know”
She feels very protected and unstoppable.
With him there by her side.
