Emotional Quilt

My emotional quilt hovers over me
Made of the finest fabric
Comprised of materials that
Bind hearts tightly
It's there to keep me safe
Whenever I feel lost
Should I ever crave its warmth
I only need reach out to touch it
It's with me during the day
And never really goes away
It's as if its waiting for me to call upon it
As if it doesn't want me to forget it's here
It has the strength to lift me
When I'm feeling down and weak
And picks me up swiftly
Wrapping itself around my body
When I crave comfort most
I cuddle in really close
And hold it tightly to me
As if I don't know how to let go
It handles my secrets with care
Lets me know that I can unload
My heart beats faster
As its embrace encases me deep
It grips me firm yet gently
And I lay so contentedly
Covered in soft safety
Glowing in the dark with confidence
True feelings are shining through
And I'd give my all to you
Absorb me, emotional quilt
Take my heart with no guilt
Help me rid myself of poisonous tragedy
Free me from the fear I've known
Let the blood of my past pains
Stain your pretty fabric, oh
I want to paint the perfect picture
But I only know how to dirty my hands with flaws
Could you ever love a mess?
Or do you just know how to clean well?
Because this attachment is killing me
And I don't want to die
But I'm scared you have the healing knife
To slice right through my core
But if I'm wrong, you'll hurt me
Please... please don't
I just want to stay in this sanctuary
Where you make me fall... asleep
I want to keep you, emotional quilt
I hope that you'll be here still
After the rain falls and it's all said and done
I can only dream that you will
So as I close my eyes tonight
I know it's nearing time
But no matter what happens
One thing will always remain
I'll never take your touch for granted
It's only right to cherish magic
I am so incredibly glad to have this
Genuine emotion-made blanket
