An Invitation to Peace

Whether you're cognizant of the fact or not
There is a place for you in my bed
And that hasn't a drop of sexual connotation.
The empty place where my lanky arms and legs stretch out
And the extra set of pillows that is used only when I toss and turn
Are both reserved for you and that beauty of yours
Because when my loneliness has overcome its bounds
I want you to be there
I want your hand to hold
And I want your presence to shield me,
Help me to break away from the precariousness of life's little situations
And the harsh grip of reality that force-feeds me throughout the night.
So please join me
I want those cleverly planned kisses that develop in your head
To be for me
I want to feel the familiarity of a life still in its infancy
But that still truly feels like home
And as for my end
This bed, these arms, and this mind will support you
A wallet, a salary, and anything you need will be there for you
But will never hold you up like you should be held
