Sleep evades me
As I lie down to rest
A headache creeping closer
Pushing me to the edge
You lie next to me
Surrounding me in warmth
Your wild smell soothes me
Slow breaths brushing my neck
A nose nudges my head
More warm breaths tickle me
A soft hand rests on my back
I fall faster into dreamless rest
A soft whine stirs me
You want to make sure I'm ok
I reach back and stroke your fur
You lick my hand and I calm
I relax knowing so well
You will keep me safe from harm
And protect me from demons
Who haunt me dusk to dawn.
As my body shuts down
You enforce your presence
You are here. You are near
You are my favorite company.
