A Snippet of Solace

i. stimulus

i was drowning beneath
the depths of my despairs,
and you were leaping
through the tap of my storms.
my chest was thrumming
like a step on the stairs,
and my heart was conquered
like a bundle of scorns.

it's your voice and your presence
that i'm looking for,
never knew that the chain
was locked up on your door.
and the love that you've felt
has never been sure,
yet the care that you gave
would always be my cure.
