She sits by herself, all alone
But she’s there for me when I’m sullen and low
I talk endlessly, she listens- patiently
She knows when I’m happy, she knows when I’m sad
And gives me the feel of a caring hand.
When I cry, when I hurt,
She wipes my tears as I pour out my heart.
Holding me close and hugging me tight,
In her own silent way she tells me it’s going to be alright.
When I’m happy she rejoices with me,
I can feel the warmth in her closeness to me
Through tears and joys we make our way
Me and my companion never will sway
Lying there faded, my blanket of old
Even without a life, I can feel that heart of gold.

Leha, I loved the succinct poem. Many a times we get attached to something that gives us comfort and support like the blanket here.

One of my toddler’s friends sleeps with a blanket on even during summers. She calls it her friend. Your poem reminded me of that little girl. So poignant.

A relatable poem. Many of us find comfort in things, food or pets. They don’t judge or stop and provide a comforting shoulder.

There are material things like your blanket or my pillow which can provide comfort no one else can… The best part is they let us be alone as well! Very beautifully written poetry…
