You Hold Me Safe

You Hold Me Safe You laugh as I enwrap myself in kitten soft blanket contentedly smiling warm. Embossomed You don’t understand yet, I see. I bundle in tighter caressed by its softness. Dear kitty kisses my neck and face. Kisses that bring only warming. Kisses that bring no warning. Nights long ago weren’t safe. I wasn’t left to rest. I wasn’t left. But I am safe with you. You hold me safe. You let me cuddle myself in safe and warm and kind. In a hug of protection. Never stripped raw or exposed. Your need of me is never stolen. And for the first time, I can sleep. I can sleep with you.
