This Time

By: Denice Rochelle

Do I find myself lost in the Sea of Love alone
Again?

Whitecaps are crashing in on me with unmerciful force
I can barely breathe, let alone navigate

I want to sleep the days and nights away
So I won’t itch the scabs on my heart to bleeding, again

I want to lie perfectly still until I can’t feel my body
I want to believe if I lie there long enough, I’ll go numb forever

But what I want more than that is to believe
I’m not in Love alone, this time

I want to believe in the power of Love
To inspire and nurture, trust in me

I want to believe the power of Love
Is magical enough, true enough, just enough, for him to say

Darlin’ you’re not in Love alone
This time
