Melting

My whole 

Body aching

after 

Sleepless nights

I stagger through my 

Sloppy flat

searching for

Anything edible.

When I hear your 

Fitful cry

I sigh

and take you in my arms

and you smile.

This pure little innocent smile

that only babies, 

only you...

make my heart melt.

With my molten heart I 

hold you tight

and my sleep

and my hunger

and my pain

are gone.
