  • Unafraid

    I stare at a blank doc
    The line blinks at me, teasing me
    Taunting me
    Daring me
    Daunting me

    A heavy sigh escapes me
    And warm arms wrap to embrace me

    I’ll write something amazing, he tells me
    And i find it in my heart to believe
    Not in myself, not yet,
    But in the version of me he sees

    My brow furrows
    And i begin to type
    As he smiles into my shoulder,
    Fighting not to say he was right

    I close the laptop
    Set it off of the bed
    And rest comfortably, listening
    To the heartbeat in his chest

    For this is where i am most content

    But content does not begin to cover
    The comfort and safety
    Being under these covers

    Content does not quite express
    How unafraid i am
    Here, on his chest

    I stare at a blank doc
    A prompt heavy on my mind
    And all i can think of
    Is his eyes
