Ghost

Let me be a ghost in your bedroom
Transparent in the darkness
Watching you
Slipping over you as you sleep
Blow life onto my face
Exhale again, I wait for it
My weightless fingers taste you
lost in the movement of circumstance that
this one night I am merely air
air that surrounds you
I am nowhere, yet everywhere
powerful enough to crawl inside you
and cool the warmth of you
so you awaken
but not afraid
You awaken only to cover yourself from
this unusual coldness you feel
Never knowing it was me
the ghost who haunts your sleep
