He curls around me,
His need obvious,
Blatant,
Breath hot on my neck
Misting into hair
As muffled sighs sound
Like goodbyes,
And it's six o'clock,
Woken by his touch,
There's no hope for sleep now,
My soul filled with
An ocean of tears
At the distance between us,
For I want to stay
As I want to run away,
But my feet are rooted between.
I just want to sleep.
Let the morning sun rise
Putting this pain behind me,
The sound of his soft cries.
I'm sick to my core,
I can't take this anymore,
I can't sleep,
I can't eat,
My brain won't stop churning
And turning and burning,
But I've no place to spill
My worries and fears
Save the blank page
Which never responds.
