please marry me
so i can hear your
sleepy voice on my
darkest nights
and instead of pouring out
our souls to each other
for the tenth time that week
you just interlace
your fingers with mine
wrap it around your waist and say
sleep, ashlynn
it's okay to just rest
and sleep with me
no one expects
anything else from you
and you can just hold me
and rest here
your voice sounds sleepy
and affectionate
and your arms are warm
against my face
we melt right into each other
the worries then go away
and all i can think about
is how i love the way
my face melts into yours
you can free me
