I awoke this morning feeling the darkness lingering. I rolled over and wrapped him in my arms knowing he felt it too. He mumbled something in his sleep and started to snore again. I started to feel slightly invisible and wondered if the darkness was here for me not him. I shuddered and scooted closer to him and further under the covers. It made sense tho. He had experienced more episodes than me here lately it was only a matter of time when it would start to chip away at my armor giving him a false sense of hope that it was passing. The sun was starting to peak over the horizon as I closed my eyes. When I awoke again I was wrapped right in his arms as if they were a shield. He whispered in my ear "I got you." That's when I realized my eyes were wet with tears and my throat was raw from screaming. Dreams I hadn't had in years resurfacing and pulling me into that darkness. Will we ever be ok? Will we ever win this battle with the darkness? Where is it coming from?
