I wake up drowning in you
Wrapped in the way you smell
Like hotel rooms on the coast
I wake up drowning in all the ways
You held me the night before
The way your hands held my heart up
When it grew heavy.
I knew it when I put my head down last night,
that I can live in a world without
knowing the feeling of your arms
wrapped around me,
But I hope I never have to go back
Because the way you hold me
Is within itself a simple at of selflessness,
You do not understand but
You also do not attempt to crack my ribs open.
You have become the extra light in color,
Saturating my life in a way that
I cannot gracefully put into words.
But I know the way you comfort me with gentle hands
quiets my thoughts and soothes my lungs
while everyone else was setting me on fire.
