The screaming, the tears that seem to appear from nowhere. They are all just too scary. And painful.You reach out to me as I writhe in the darkness. Screaming into the silent of the night. Cradling my tensed body, you do all you can to make the pain go away.
Then as suddenly as it came, the pain eases. The tears stop. The drowsiness returns. I am suddenly aware of the warmth of your arms wrapped around me. In my sleepiness, I mumbled my thanks. You whispered assurances. Go back to sleep, I hear those words.
I hate cramps in the middle of the night.
