softly, slowly
rising
falling
drifting to sleep,
unaware of the nightmares
waiting for me,

to the sound of deep breaths
and the steady heart
in your chest

I miss this sweet lullaby
in your absence
of every lonely night

And so here we are
Page after page
Hearts on fire
Exposing parts unseen
Beneath harden surfaces
Wounds unclean
Broken still we dream
On and on we pen
And so we breathe again
