Lying awake at night
To the stillness of the room
Stale
Dim light shines
Peeking through the doorway
Pink fleece sheets
Warm and cozy
Snuggled tight against her body
She feels lonely
On this brisk fall night
Drifting and dreaming
Of his scent
He touching her soft olive skin
Light a feather
So light
As his body is heavy upon her
Her mind slips to this man
It has been a long time
She smells of coconut and red wine
She was recently set free
It’s her time to be loved again
As she waits for him
The prince in all his glory
Where is he
She won’t just let anyone touch her
Special is he
Who gets to hold her
