In the Quiet of Your Arms

A recent memory sparked the inspiration for this poem :)

I wonder sometimes 

If you even knew 

I lay wide awake for hours

Yearning to keep you close

Just like this, for a while more 

Your hands wrapped around me 

Unaware, you sleep so soundly 

Never knowing what you've done

Our breaths mingling 

The night passes silently

I smile like a fool in the dark

This love, it leaves me breathless 

Quietly, I found myself stumbling 

Itching to collapse in your warmth

Stubborn heart of mine demands

My body can't help but listen to it

I keep these moments to myself

Secrets, I wish I could confess 

Terrifying, to find comfort like this

But I've never had a home anywhere 

We laugh every morning 

Blush deepening as we speak

I pretend it meant nothing 

But we both know I was lying

I remember these night constantly 

Every time my eyes open, I see you

I breathe in your comfortable scent

My worst nightmares fading away

Left behind is this sense of happiness 

I pray each night, I never lose this feeling
