a little comfort
the nights are long
when your not able to give in
when your body wants to reach out
for the next set of warm limbs
that might be available
and sleep no longers says come to me
the night is cruel that way
unaccepting of the emotions
you release, the sighs you repress
the lonliness that you hide
if only beneath your blankets
every other hour waking up
wondering if maybe across
this will pass when you let your dreams
come, and the night take
you in
when your tears hit the pillow
wetting your cheek
then the cry catches in your throat
coming out strangled
and desperate
because thats how it is sometimes
desperation
desperation for that comfort
and thats all we need sometimes
just a little sweet comfort
