security blanket
one final thing before
i concede to meet
my fate with sleep.
i hug my tiger close to me,
breathing in the scent which
was left behind.
it's one i've grown
to know, to love
in recent months
because it reminds
me of someone
who keeps me safe
when i need it most
and makes me laugh
when no one can
and understands
when no one could
and accepted me
wne no one would.
as i cuddle up to my
furry sleep companion,
i'm almost convinced
that she's right there,
which provides just the
secure feeling i needed
in order to sleep
on a night like this.
