the earth feels as if its crashing down upon my insides, my bones cracking beneath my flesh as i scream out in painful agony of the sharp motions scraping under my organs. it stings, my brain stings. sweat beads at my hairline whilst i grit my teeth against my gums, breaking skin. my pulse quickens, my heart attempting to pump rapidly but nothing was beginning to fire, to charge. i was in misery. 

"george..?" a gentle feminine voice broke through the wall of reality, pulling my eyes open to reveal a dark ceiling and soft features of a women laid out next to me, eyes as bright as the sky as she lightly ran her nails onto my forearm in a soothing manner. my breath hitched as i began to register that it was just a dream, my hand brushing through my moist curls from the intensity of my consciousness. 

"you're okay baby." she smiles, pulling open her arms, fingers curling in her palm as i shuffle beneath the sheets and push my body onto hers. feeling her warmth radiate off her smooth pale skin as her brown curls flow over my shoulders. im facing behind her yet i feel I'm making eye contact as her hands clutch the back of my shirt, her lips moving whilst she whispers reaffirming words under my earlobe. I feel at ease with her comforting presence.

"i apologize if i had scared you."
"you didnt george"
"you looked it" i take a sharp exhale at the thought of seeing fear on her face, it itched my brain front and back. i refused to ever reach those limits but the nightmares have only been getting worse. i wish to sleep in another's bed so she could receive a full night's rest for once.

"looks are deceiving" she speaks light-heartedly, i can hear her grin as i pull away and release my grip from her back. im faced with her face, there were no lights in the room other than the beaming moonlight streaming through the open drapes. she looked so beautiful under it, her eyes crossed my face and dragged down. hands still resting beside my lower stomach. her touch does wonders to my skin, shivers explore my skin in the most relaxing way possible. 

"what's going through your mind" she breaks the silence, i blink and feel my cheeks flush full of heat with a pretty shade of pink. "you," i answer simply, earning an eye roll and a shove back to my side of the bed. a smile rests on my lips at the playful interaction as she snuggles her body back under the sheets where she once laid asleep. 

"go to sleep, gotta be up soon," she speaks, turning her back to face the opposite wall. i hum a light response and curl my wrist around her waist first then ring my arms around fully before tugging her back to my chest, her heartbeat interlinking with the connection of mine. her breathing is gentle as she slips into a slumber. i admire her for a moment before falling under myself. the goosebumps that were pricked across my scalp and spine disappearing.
