Inside

Inside

I woke up with dirty feet

clutching a fairy in my aching hands

sharp pain, warm blood

only a dream...

"Close your eyes," you whisper

I want you to take me with you

as you ride 

because I'm afraid 
to close my eyes

My heart gallops

as I wrap my arms around your waist
holding onto your unwavering strength

my left ear pressing against your back

until all I can hear is

inside

inside...
