The friend I daily sleep with

My best friend knows all my dark secrets

has heard all my sobs

along with me it has soaked in my precious tears

listened to my silent loud cries

in the dimmest of nights

it holds me tightly and upright

gives ear to my dead stillness and sleepless plight

it appreciates my unfulfilled desires and daemons alike

it beautifully buries all my breathlessness

when I am panting in pain

who else is my closest buddy and confidante

but

my priceless pillow
