I Am Yours

Like the fondness of an old memory
I curl into the comfort you provide
As I press into the length of you
Thoughts released, race through my mind

You’re the temptation of which I resent most
Yet it is you, I am lost in the absence of
Fallen to the persuasion of your incessant pull
My thoughts, exist profound, only in your world

Hope fights for acknowledgment
In the forefront of my conscious mind
To God, I promise gratitude
At the loss of Morning’s burden, left behind

I’ve grown to know you so well
In the darkest depths of the night
You know the most coveted of my secrets
My most shallow fears, you’ve heard me cry

Others float peacefully in dreams exempt of time
As you tug at the bit of sanity I have lingering inside
To your hold I fall victim, as it’s ever more tight
Suffocation, inevitably, seems my future demise

The delicate minutes tick ever so slow
As they mockingly dance across the face of time
Insomnia - I am yours…
…as you are forever mine

A tender, touching poem that expresses genuine emotion. And a surprise ending. A really great read.

I have never had this, but know some who do, and you sure described it well. Nicely done!
