and only mine

but for now, she is here

she is with me only

so will endure

will protect

will keep safe

growl builds in chest at thought

"Hey," she murmurs. "It's okay. We won't stay long."

lean into touch again

want to tell her

want to explain

want to make her understand

danger

threat

but words stay trapped

she pets my hair again

gesture meant to soothe

and it does

tension bleeds from shoulders

from spine

from soul

"Just two days," she promises. "Then we'll leave. Find somewhere with a view of the sky. I know you don't like being trapped inside."

does she think i want the false god in the sky?

i know better now

my moon is here on earth

not up there

but i nod

she smiles

likes when i nod

don't know why
