arms

weary with exhaustion
my arms are heavy
fingers thick and numb
i want to lay down on your chest
curl up
your arms wrapped around me
drift off
sleeping in that
safe place
fall down into that cool well of darkness
peace
dreams
but i'm alone here
alone
and tired
so tired
hold me please, i'm falling
collapsing
out of reach
help me
hold me
please
