The dark surrounds me like a blanket
In the middle of the night
It is quiet and still
Not alone but so lonely
Listening to the patter of the rain
Washing everything clean
On its journey back to the ocean
Silent but for the voices in my head
Pressing my face against the window
Hot skin meets smooth and cold
Breath fogs the glass
Blurring what is and what isn't
Turmoil of mind and emotion
Confusion, heartbreak, fear
Overwhelms in the dark
When no distractions are to be found
A cat rubs against my legs
A rumbling purr interrupts the sound of the rain
Love so pure and accepting
Comforts me in the night
