Nightmares

Even though my tears
are making your chest all wet.
Your warm smile is
still beaming down onto my face.
You hold me tight against your skin
whispering comforting thoughts into my ear.

You bury your head into my hair,
as you breathe, you take in my sent.
Telling me he's not here
that he's unable to hurt me now.
Yet I'm still shaking in fear
from dreams that seemed so real.

How can he scare me
when he's no where near?
Making me tremble
with unnecessary fear.
Hold me close my love
as I cry away this nightmare.
