serenity

love asked one night
what do you want
i didn't need to think about it
"serenity"
the word just formed and came out
and instantly always was the truth
something hit its target
the moment froze there in silence
serenity
the opposite of everything i was
haunted, filled with angst
insecurities like spider's legs
countless hands
that reached around breaking everything
but even then i glimpsed the peace
i didn't know
but knew
was possible
