you wake me up
and lay me to rest
all at once
you ignite the wildfire
that is my heart and soul
you set flames to everything melancholy
you light me up inside
and keep me warm
and when the fire dwindles
when its flames are drowned
by the oceans of my grief
you cease the winds of heartbreak
and wrestle the currents of troubles
i have
and calm the storm
that is my mind
you wake me
with passionate kisses
and tuck me in
with soft spoken words
and at the end of the day
as you see me peacefully sleeping
you understand what it's like
to be in love
