Comfort Zone

He opened the door
and I knew he'd been expecting me
but he didn't smile
or make a face
that made me feel bad or guilty
he just seemed
patient
so patient
after all the brush offs and dismissals
broken promises and snide little remarks
Here he stood, in the middle of the night
His Pj bottoms the perfect background
to his beautiful chest
"Are you alright" he said
rubbing a hand through soft hair
his eyes focused on me
I shook my head no
bit my lip to absorb future tears
felt his arms enclose around me
sealing me inside my new precious comfort zone
