A smile

I felt a closeness beside me,
And a fragrance drifted past,
The sweet fragrance that I never forgot.
Felt a soft hand running through my hair,
As though feeling it’s smoothness n blessing it more
It patted my hand so softly n slowly
Felt the world had stopped all around me.
Felt surrounded by love and comfort,
Like covered with feathers of bliss.

A soft kiss on the forehead,
N a sweet voice calling my name.
I opened my eyes to see a smiling face,
I couldn’t see who it was, but
All I saw was the sweet smile
All I smelt was a delightful fragrance
And all I felt was all I wanted.

The feeling of being loved
And the belief that I was wanted
Was all that I wanted to feel at the beginning of my day
A day when I would wake up with a smile
A smile straight from my heart
A day which would be alright
And a day where I knew I’d make things right.
To wake up with the confidence
That I could do all that I wished
And to have the courage to
Make it through all the shit
To just have calm at least for once in a day.

A crash, a shout, a scream n a kick
Chaos all around, and a rush of adrenaline
A shock and a jolt to come to my senses
Swollen eyes and an aching head
A frown on the face n abusing lips

I looked around and realized it was just a dream
A dream I longed for since I was a kid
A dream, a desire, a wish for some peace
A morning when I would wake to peace
A morning when I would wake up to a smile
A morning I knew was somewhere out there
A smile that I know would come one day
And peace that I knew would come one day
A smile…all I wished for was a smile…
Just that one sweet smile in the morning
That would wake me and make things alright.
