night crosses out the day
gifting me the warm
safety of you
tighter, please
hold fast
do not be detoured
by my softness
your firm grip
molding my mind
more than my flesh
that strength cancels out
the noise inside
demons rise
in the dark
but possess no magic
to fight against
your command
within this embrace
I bid them
goodnight
as I dissolve, liquid and dust
against you
within the whisper
of your breath
free to be
the luckiest
girl
alive.
