We crawled through the cellars of my house
With nothing but a lantern
And I was okay
For once, I wasn't scared
Of what I would find
In the dark, damp places
hidden
Where the spiders build their nests
You were with me
I saw the bodies
You didn’t see
It was okay
And when it was time,
You asked me to help you
Together
We examined the wreck
And in the light of two lanterns
You looked
And I was with you
I didn't see everything
But I saw you
And you saw me
And together
We were okay

There is security in the presence of another. A lovely poem that although not explicit conveys romantic feelings to the reader. Nicely done
Nicely written, your poem revolves around companionship and the comfort found in shared experiences, particularly in confronting fears or unknowns.
This was it @Friendship! I was trying to convey the feeling of finding someone who might not understand everything you have been through, but someone who can come from "that place" and allows YOU go into those scary places without judgement, just compassion. Those people are far and few between with certain experiences, but I had an explorer for a bit, and they helped me more than they will ever know. I miss them dearly everyday.
Powerful work. Excellent.
Thank you for reading
