Written December 31, 2005/January 2, 2006
(I'm not sure how I feel about this one, rhyming so doesn't feel like my thing. It's been awhile since I've been hit with the urge to write and the first few lines just jumped into my head and I had to frantically grab my notebook and scribble them out.)

I'm passing out,
You're holding me close,
I love your soft embrace.

You hold me safe within your arms,
I cuddle close,
Never leave my side.

These days I'm tired of it all,
But you are my rock,
The one who picks me up when I fall.

I don't know how to thank you,
Love is all I have -
Stubborn and unrelenting.
