I often cry myself to sleep allowing my tears to saturate your presence,
Your soft, gentle assurance presses closely against my face,
Collecting my tears one by one, drip by drip, and moan by moan,
Sometimes my angry screams are stifled by your feathered casing,
Capturing those curses meant to reach bending ears,
I hug you ever so tightly, slowly suffocating my fears,
You never put up a fight, allowing my anxiety to melt into your body,
Calmness showers down on me, rocking me to sleep in your gentle arms,
I’m one with you, my dreams seep out through my cold sweat,
Whispering past secrets and future aspirations, that only you know,
Trust is your greatest possession, my words and thoughts are your prisoners,
Your familiar nature seeks no betrayal with me,
And there is nothing more reassuring than you,
my greatest sanctuary
