Stop It!

Poetry

How do I stop the tears,
And soothe my fears?
To stop the voices in my head,
Saying one wrong step and you're dead.

How do I stop over thinking,
When I see red and blue lights blinking?
What's to say you're still okay,
When I can't reach you from so far away?

How do I stop believing you're wrong,
When you stay away for so long?
And who can show me another way,
When there's only negative things to say?

How do I stop my breaking heart.
If we're suddenly torn apart?
If you're found dead in the street,
Lying lifeless at my feet.

How do I stop the eternal pain,
When I begin to go insane?
My life wouldn't be okay anymore.
So please, don't walk out that door!

I wrote this about my husband who has seizures. I always worry about him when he isn't with me. And I didn't know how to deal with it.
