me, the messy

You lie there beside me, eyes closed with the face of innocence.
I explore your face, careful not to touch and wake you.
Bared of worry, nothing but calmness.
You're safety is my comfort.

I remember the rhythm of your breathing and the sound of your beating heart.
It rocks me to sleep. I feel nothing more but relief.
And yet overwhelmed. So I whisper it to you.

That memory, it soothes me to slumber.
