Solitary
In the darkness
Pierced by loud crashes
And flashes of light
I snap awake
Looking around
Nerves firing
Electricity jolts through my skin
I look at you
Sleeping
Your hair
Soft in the moonlight
Dreaming of big things
Epic Plans
I touch you
And softly you stir
I tell you
"I've never liked storms"
You smile
And hold me close
"It's okay"
Your warmth
Is a comfort
Your scent reminds me
Of the men I have seen
In drawings
In my own country
Powerful men
Usually at war with some enemy
Yet it comforts me
I drift off to sleep
Before it claims me
I whisper to the night
I Love You
