carved your collarbone to
perfectly rest my head
slowed your heartbeat
so I could fall asleep to
the sound of soft footsteps
laid your arms tightly around
my waist so I would always
feel safe no matter where my
dreams took me
I made a home in your arms
so I would always have a
place to return, to find solace
at the end of a bad dream
I knew your arms were there
to remind me I was not alone,
to rid me of my worst fears
and protect me from the bad
I made a home in your arms
and I don't know what changed
but you began showing up
in my nightmares and my head
no longer fit in the delicate
curve of your neck and I awoke
to find you had pushed me aside
and you were sound asleep with
your arms at your sides
