Praying that Dawn Never Comes
Praying that Dawn Never Comes
I can't sleep tonight, but I don't really want to
The warmth of her breath runs down my neck
It runs down my back like the comfort of a blanket
familiar, warm, scented of home, and made by love
Her arm lays over my shoulder
Her chest rests against my back
Her leg lays over mine, warming me
And in the dark, in the quiet there is peace
Humming rhythmically clinking the fan barely audible moves
Crickets chirp outside, and my mind wants eternity
Never to move or to rise or to see the sun
Always to be here wrapped in safety and her want
Oh that the silence of this night could go on forever
And here I lay, praying that dawn never comes....
