in bed with cold teddybears thick red velvet my lover's long black hair the warmth and comfort of bed the hollow on your side that forms to your body perfectly the sweet sleep musk the smell of home and simple joy the scent of your body my cocoon - secret womb - cave sleep - love - birth - death i want to cuddle up in my bed sleep in the depths of a hundred soft blankets feel their heavy warmth crawl back into the safe womb of my own making i don't ever want to leave don't want to go outside where it's so bright it hurts my eyes the people all point and stare the noise so loud it scares me too many people too many eyes you can't make me go out there i won't go sleep will enfold me in her soft dark arms i melt into the sweet embrace of dreams dark gardens blood red tulips two lips footsteps on the stair a knock at the front door the hands on the clock spin forward never ceasing never pausing for breath never slowing never stopping
