Tonight I'Ll Sleep Safe
In the darkness of night,
I reach out my hand bliindly to touch your skin,
and find the soft, soothing, saving grace,
that soothes me.
I trace my fingers over your shoulder and down your arm,
to find your hand,
and hold on tightly.
You are the only one who can stop the nightmares,
You are the only one
who can chase away,
the demons in my sleep.
I can feel each tender finger
laced into mine;
the latticework of love,
and as it flows gently between us,
I close my eyes and know,
tonight I'll sleep safe.
