Hold Me Close, Composed 10/29/14
It holds me close and keeps me warm
when no one else is near.
It listens to my piteous thoughts,
that no one wants to hear.
When everyone else's heart is cold and hard,
its softness comforts me.
And when my thoughts are too heavy to hold,
through sleep it sets me free.
It catches all my sweat and tears,
and blood without protest,
and never runs away from me -
oft unlike all the rest.
Its blanket arms will hide me
till the monsters run away.
My bed will shield me from the light
'till I can face the day.
