Finally Sleep

Laying in that once warm, now cold bed,
I try to sleep.
I close my eyes
And wish myself away,
But it will not work.
The silence presses in on me,
Chocking me,
Killing me.
Its like walls pressing
Down on my head.
I pull my knees up,
Curling my arms around them.
I bury my face in my knees
And pray for these monsters to go away.
Then, suddenly, I feel the bed dip.
My body tenses up in fear.
My eyes shut tight as tears leak out.
Then I feel warm arms surround me,
Driving away the cold and fear.
You hold me tight
As my fright slowly fades.
You whisper in my ear.
Telling me you will never let me go
And that you will protect and love me forever.
For once in this dark world,
I feel loved and safe.
Then, I can finally sleep.
