darkness in my heart flashing lights in my brain the rise and fall of your breathing as you sleep next to me i can imagine it perfectly soothing my rapid breath the warmth of your chest as your arms are wrapped around me i can feel it on my skin like it's real casting my anxiety far from here thinking of your body hands exploring comfort in a familiar place relieves the burning sensation on my fingertips lips on mine pressing softly petal soft my favorite kind of dream chases away all my nightmares hands in my hair twisting my tresses braiding with ribbons calms my buzzing nerves walking barefoot in clear water hand in mine pacifies the static behind my eyes
