I wash over you in peaceful waves
Giving your body the rest that it craves
I may not solve problems but I clear your mind
I'm a safe haven from hurt and, temporarily, life
Allow me to embrace you and kiss your cheeks
I'll restore what is broken and heal what is weak
You will awake to find a world (still) full of pain
But I will help you to want to survive it again
So, say goodnight to your sorrows and good day to your dreams
I'll be your consistent companion, your sanctuary.
