There's only one place he can't creep in my thoughts anymore and that's when I'm deep asleep in my bed. That's the only time I feel at peace. When salt isn't being pushed into the unhealed wombs of my broken heart and the tears on my face are dry. My safe place. Free from any memory of you. No sorrow, no false hope, no trying to wrap my head around any of it. It's my favorite time of the day. Where I feel nothing.
