Pillow.

You keep

my head warm

 

you provide

a soft

cussion

beneath my

tired skull

 

you drown out

the

sound of

thunder,

on a

stormy night

 

you sheild

my face

from

the darkness,

just enough

so I still see

the moonlight

 

You smell

like

everything

I love

But yet

you

have

no fragrance

 

You greet

me

when I

awake

every morning,

like an old friend

 

You watch,

endless episodes of

Friends

by my side

when I should

be

sleeping

But you don’t mind

 

You are

my silent

best friend

 

I am

grateful for

your understanding

 

You absorb my tears

like a sponge

when I cry

 

I will

take you

with

me

 

to college, when I’m

older

to my first home, when

I’m much older

than that

 

Because you

where there

for me

when I

first

met you
