A life rewound by fear. Pt.2

Read Part 1. First.

With the smell of burning redwood, filling the cabin air
The orange flickering flames dancing, off of her hair
With an arm stretched out, face in the palm of her smooth hand
He expeditiously kneels in font her, before she can stand

With his head in her lap, she gently lays a hand
Wiping away the tears, of this broken fool of a man
He is so bent, shattered and dispirited
All the while she stayed, praying and hoping

They seized the moment, what felt like hours
Till the clock struck 12,
Startle us with this clatter
She gently lifted his face, gave a kiss on the forehead
Looked him in the eyes, with the longing for bed

As they walked to the bedroom,
The boards squeaked and cracked
Taking mental notes, fix this, fix that, gotta nail down that slat
Taking a step forward with a deep intake of her hair
The smell of roses, so subtle sweet and fair

As I leave him up the stairs, feeling his anticipation of what awaits there
I hesitantly make my way up to the flat, Looking over staring at him back
I curl my finger at him, his shy wolfish grin still intact
A face so red, so cute in fact

Trembling with excitement, shaking with certitude
She makes her way to him, without pulling back
To hold, to smell, to feel, to love is just that
All she desired, was only having him back

They lay there entranced, in a warm embrace
Together again, reveling in their happy place
Stay there they wanted, could have for days
Deep in her sleep, she softly talks away
He listens intently, reassuring her " It's ok Darling, I'm here to stay." They both drift in a slumber, intently staying that way.
