My Lullaby

His heartbeat is my lullaby     

His smooth chest is my pillow

His arms are the sheets that comfort me when I need comforting

The sheets that caresses my face and dries my tears when needed

When I sleep, he stays awake to make sure I’m okay

It makes me feel…

Loved

He wasn’t meant for me

He was meant for someone else

Yet we still ended up together

Forever and a day we say…

It makes me laugh when I think that

He was in front of me the entire time

But I didn’t speak up

In fear that I would offend who he was meant for

It came as a surprise to others

When they discovered we were together

Some didn’t agree with that

Since I wasn’t meant for him

But he was meant for me in the end

My tears splash his jacket

The one I sleep with because it smells like him

 “Forever and a day” his melodic voice whispers to me

As I listen to my lullaby

And fall asleep with a smile upon my face
