She lay in bed
Alone
Alone with her thoughts
All jumbled in her head
Emotions scattering like autumn leaves in the wind
She closes her eyes
Trying to quiet those stray, random thoughts
Pushing them back down
Down into the depths
The depths where she can box them up
Nice and neat, compartmentalised
Under lock and key
Where she need not think of them again
They lay in bed
Together
Holding one another close
Quiet whispers
Opening the boxes they buried deep
Letting everything spill out
Opening themselves to one another
Laying themselves bare in front of the other
All their fears, their hopes and their dreams
Freeing themselves
Lifting each other to new heights
