Hold me longer
Waiting for that sweet relief when I can come home and fall into your arms.
The only one who cradles me without question.
The one who covers me from the pain of the outside world.
The one who holds me while I sleep.
I know I can rely on you to hold me when life decides to take a bat and throw it around my body.
You know what I dream.
You can keep up with who I love, and I don't have to say a thing.
You are my refuge.
I'll only have you once a she's gone.
When I come home broken and hurting, you're always ready to hold me until I feel ok again.
I cannot thank you enough for the pretense of protection that you provide within your warm self
The false sense of safety is enough to help me get to sleep.
Not having to check under for things that lurk
Only having to remember to shut the closet doors
And pull your arms around me
I'm coating in your being
As I drift into the nothingness that only exists in rest
I close my eyes for a split second
Then on comes radio
Eyes wide I don't know where I am
It's dark and people are singing
But you're holding me tight
I can't make you let go
So I tell radio to shut up for ten more minutes
And snuggle back into your embrace
You make no attempt to stop me
It's comforting
I drift back into nothing
Only for radio to start singing once again
I give in and leave you warm side
To go to shower and be cleansed by water
Only to come and snuggle back with you for ten minutes more
My hair is done
And I'm all dressed up
I look back longingly wanting for you to hold me longer
But off goes the lights
And the door is shut tight

When You Read it, You'll know me
PoetryJust words that flow A river in my head It twists and turns And never stays the same The current is strong You can never go back Pen it down And remember The joy of the ride Through the rough bumpy tide That are the words In my mind.
