You.

You are my dark, sleepless nights,

you are my restless, wandering eyes. 

You are the ghost to my shadow,

that haunts, that follows.

You are the crinkle of my smile,

you are the twinkle in my eye,

you are the creator of my laugh,

that wraps me in joy.

You are the lies,

the cries,

the emptiness.

You are my safety,

the warmth,

the forever.

The tears and the fears.

The hope and the care.

You are the unease, 

a gripping worry

that may disappear

in the night,

But in the morning

you are here, 

kiss away 

my fear. 

Come the morning, 

still here, 

in my mind,

not by my side
