You don't need my words.

You don't want them, either.

I get it.

So, I'll just sit with you,

arm against arm,

leg against leg,

and wait for you to be ready

to accept the love I have to offer you.

Because I'll always wait for you.

Do listen to what I think of you

You whose soul I long know

Know you’re worth every breath in you

You have been chastised for all you are

Are in truth a star shining beautifully

Beautifully unique, yet untimely made

Made to suffer Man’s indifferent ways

There's a hand

that maps

the small

of the back

to the shoulder blades

and rests between

your heartbeat

and mine

pressed

The Comforter micro challenge @Last

I heard you were ill,

So I wanted to say.

That I said a prayer

To take it away.

Sending a gift

Of spiritual love.

Granting you favor

From creation above.

I pray your healing,

Is heavenly fast,

God hear my pleas,

And make it last.

I'm

I'm

Just a hug.

A hug whenever.

A hug wherever.

A hug for as long as you want,

An embrace for as long as you need.

I will be by your side.

Just enjoy the hug.

Bed Ridden,

I know of

No Greater

Comforter

then that

of the Safe

Opium Den

of a Shared

Imagination

In its Daze,

Cast about

we'll Seek a

Glimpse of

SomeThings

polished and

Glimmering

(as Dreams)

Written Up

(permanent)

On the Ceiling

of Our vision~

Clean sheets

Thread count hundreds

Freshly laundered

Gently

Lying within

Just scrubbed clean

Naked

With someone else

A natural rouge stains your cheeks,

is it from the kiss of my winter?

Or the kisses that never were?

Your heartaches from my apathetic splinter,

I apologize.

My skin is cold,

but my blood runs warm,

my heart beats rapid

Remember I love you, no matter what is told.

So they are calling you names,

pushing you down,

telling you, you will be the worst,

causing self-doubt.

How does this make you feel?

Do you think there is something else contributing to those feelings?

Is this stress because you are afraid of failing?

So self doubt?

Thank you.
