A Nighttime

I wake up

It was another magical nightmare

Real enough for the anxiety to overtake me

To spread through my conscious being

I wake up

I'm freezing with fear

Glancing every which way

Disoriented, afraid, in-tune

I role away from the window

I wake up

And you're right next to me

Peacefully breathing

Enough awake to sense a change in me

You put your arm over me

I wake up

I'm safe and unafraid

The warmth coming from you stops my shivers

I relax under the covers

I curl into you

I fall asleep
