bedtime stories
i am not a million miles away,
rotting in a galaxy elsewhere.
i am right next to you,
feeling your raspy, ragged breaths.
i am the warmth in the old blanket,
you cling to desperately to feel home.
i am the faint light you leave on,
so the shadows can dance around you.
i am the worn satin sheets that rub gently against your coarse skin.
hush, my love,
feel my heartbeat satiate the air.
let my words pervade your mind
and calm your tumultuous storms.
hush, my love,
i'll take you far away,
with each whispered word,
and every sonorous sigh.
hush, my love,
for tonight,
my stories will fight
the monsters, the demons,
and the darkness alike.
hush, my love,
you'll be okay,
you're safe tonight,
i promise.
