Safely Sleeping

The pounding of your heart,
Loud and steady in my ears,
Helps me to fall asleep,
Forgetting all my cares.
I know you will protect me,
Keep me safe so I can dream,
You sooth away my nightmares,
And quiet all my screams.
The warmth of your two arms,
Encircling me so tight,
Helps me find the solace,
That I try to find each night.
So hold me close, don't let me go,
Please keep lying here with me,
For nothing else quite matters,
We're where we ought to be.
