Muffled Cries
I hold you in my arms
Close to my heart because
I need you.
I hold you tight with my
Hands because I want you
To stay.
I need your warmth
Near me always because
Sometimes, I get
Scared.
You’re breaking apart
Inside your clothes as the
Months and years
Pass.
You’re fragile because
You’ve been here all these
Years and wiped away
All my
Tears.
So I cry for you.
I can’t give you away.
No one can take you from me.
I won’t let you go anywhere.
I love you because
You’re always there for
Me and you won’t ever leave
Me alone.
Because you’re soft,
Gentle, and always listening.
Because you are my Pillow.
