The Safe
Laying here
Next to you
Warm
Safe
Loved
I watch the darkness creep from the window
I listen to you breathe
In
Out
In
Breath breathing life
Replenishing
Healing
I am warm
Your leg
My leg
Your arm
My arm
In sleep you touch
Chest rising
Falling
Steady
Sturdy
The place in which to place my fears
Skin
Blending with the dusk
Twilight
Moonlight
Here, in our cocoon
Protected from the world
The loud
The bright
Not here
Not now
Just us
Warm
Safe
Loved.
