Who Do You Hold To Sleep At Night?

who do you hold to sleep at night?
pillow pressed tight, left clasping to your right.
imaginary loves to carry you until the light.
awakening to only see that one was nothing more than personal delight.

who do you hold to sleep at night?
with light touches of skin, flutters from within.
closer and closer until limbs can't be defined at their end
awakening to see they are still entangled realize you win.

who do you hold to sleep at night?
familiar brushes that still spark surprise.
a lifetime of holding and smiling when you rise.
attaing this, you'll gladly accept your demise.

and, oh,
imagine how glorious it would be
to pass up that first stage of three.
