A Short Comfort
That nervous feeling
when you walk by me
or touch me
or when sleep is coming near
and it's time to drive home
and I know you are going to kiss me soon.
I feel uncomfortable
Nervous.
It soon fades away
As fast as your lips touch mine
As fast as it's over.
I'm comfortable now
in your arms
touching you
You play with my hair.
Time runs out.
I turn back into a pumpkin
You into a mouse.
I go sleeping
A smile on my face.
Comfort in my body.
Uncomfort now.
You make me feel.
I don't want to look at you,
I'm afraid you won't smile back.
You don't, not when people can see atleast.
But I deal, and it's ok
because I know soon enough,
you will turn back into a prince,
me into a princess,
for the short time
when I am in comfort with you.
