Fear No More

I listened through the stillness of the night. Sadly, how silence have betrayed me. In search for a hopeful familiar sound, not a blow of breath to reassure me. I looked back amidst the shadows seeing how the light outlined your frail figure. I examined the rise and fall of the sheet expecting for a movement in the slightest measure. 'Twas my delight that I saw a sign of life. Relief has shed off my painful dread. Again, I turned around to lean on your back certain of your living presence beside the bed.
