here
beside me
lay yourself down
where the sheets
grow cold
lay yourself down
the day
it is over
exhale a sound
relief escaping
let it go
and, lay down
your head
needing rest
all day it did pound
lay it here
on my breast
lay your head down
my heart
can you hear it?
talking you down
off your ledge
calming heartbeat
beckons your down
here
beside me
lay yourself down
surrender
to comfort
lay yourself down
