I, YOUR COMPANION

Often times, you’ve found yourself at odds with life, in which you became the shorter finger. I’ll sit next to you in the dark. I’ll listen to your silence and remind you of a truth we both know: the dawn always breaks. Until then, you must scoot over, for I won’t allow you to be alone, despite that being your default acclimation. I’ll transcribe your silence into cognizance as we wait for the sun to rise again…
