as I slept in your bed last night
and curled up against the pillow
I wondered if this is what its like
to fall asleep happy
no tears dripped down my cheeks
no bitter words stung my ears
instead the ticking of clocks
lulled me to sleep
no terrors invaded my dreams
and an hour stollen
better sleep is hard to find
warm food filled my belly
and more packed up for later
never has this kindness been given to me
I know this happiness is temporary
so I will savor it
until the moment ends
