Brows furrowed
in far away dreams,
body strong
beneath our sheets,
you sleep

your smell
bathing
my senses

i belong
to you
in these silent moments

in this
hallowed darkness

every inch
of me
is Yours

and
the understanding

breaks
into a million
silent fragments –

despite
the hardship

despite
the uncertainty

despite
Your fear

You
choose
me

in all the ways
you allow me to
love you

in all the
words i cannot
say

in how i
feel i fail you
every
day

You
choose
me
again and again

my heart
so full
so humbled
breaks open

“Baby?!” You awaken,
from the sound
of these tears

” i’m okay…back to your dreams sweetheart…”

this
love.
