My Sanctuary

Sanctuary

The music starts.

My mind blanks.

It's simple... then a guitar.

Four sounds. Each striking my brain.

Each make me remember.

My sanctuary. Where is it?

I don't really know. It's here.. it's there.

In her basement.

In the park.

At the school.

On the hill.

In my room..

I watch you fast asleep.

You're face reminds me of what I wish I was.

All I fear means nothing.

It doesn't. Not at all.

It's foolish. Meaningless.

Just be my sanctuary.

Make it all melt away.

I need my sanctuary.

What's left of me?

I hear the base. It booms.

Past influences.

Gone within seconds.

Intensity simplified.

You've shown me how to see.

You've shown me how to forget.

You've shown me how to just.. be.

There's a hand.

It stretches out to help me.

Angels will fly.

They warm me, they warm my everything.

It all melts away.

All of it, is gone.

Slightly shimmering in the path it's left.

A pause.

My peace.

Then again it plays.

Over and over again in my mind.

I can't forget this.

I have to forget this.

The peace surges.

The war ceases.

Looking out my window, it slows.

My breathing almost stops.

The beating of my heart.

Silenced.

And it's over.
