Safety Blanket

She holds me tight  

at night 

wrapped around her  

 

wrist and bundled in her fist  

I have soaked up the tears  

the fears and all the snot  

 

that comes from the  

nightmares that keep her up  

at night  

 

She finds solace in me even though 

I myself am frayed at the edges and  

have holes that need patching
