Fourteen: ALL IS SAFE

I know I should be sleeping
We've already said our goodnight's
Yet instead I write to you
My mind is getting numb by the second
But I can't stop
This feeling in my head is what keeps me awake
The light inside the tunnel now seems so distant
I hope this feeling will last
Until all is safe
And when I'm no longer afraid of that tunnel
Relpaying out old conversations
And in the silence and darkness of the nights, I smile
Your words engraved the long-forgotten walls inside my head
Turning my colourless and empty world
Into colours that I have never even imagined before
My head is no longer a cage now
The walls are no longer bars that confined me
I am no longer afraid
The walls are only here to be painted on
So I will paint the only thing I know
I will paint
You
