i don't like sleeping alone,
so i slept with my conscience;
how many rights have i wronged?
it echoed through my skull.
tonight i am restless.
i don't like sleeping alone,
so i slept with my insecurities;
again, i am rattled by a question,
will i ever be enough?
tonight i lie awake.
i don't like sleeping alone,
so i slept with my anxiety;
it grabbed my heart in its hands,
and told me:
so many things are wrong.
tonight i could not breathe.
i don't like sleeping alone,
so i slept with my guilt;
it had no query, but it kept me up:
i have wronged many people.
tonight no sleep came.
i don't like sleeping alone,
so i slept with loneliness;
hearing the pitter-patter of footsteps,
sonder seeping in my bones,
tonight i rest in echoing silence.

"Your arms feel like home." I said.
"Yours are heaven." He replied.

sometimes i wonder,
do you find solace in the
arms of another?

sunshine,
how can i tell you that
as much as i love
the glow;
the heat;
the light
you give me, tell me:
am i the only one
who receives this
from you?

I still love you dear
But I have another girl's moan
Ringing through my ears.

i. blue entwines with red
the solar spectrum stuns me;
gently, the sun sets.
ii. darkness seeps the world;
the star speckled sky above
shines like diamonds.
iii. crashing on the rocks,
tranquil blue meets jagged grey;
recede and repeat.
iv. the world is blinded;
rays of the sun hit just right,
peeking at the leaves.
v. you are every song,
every word and melody;
it flows in my veins.

i listen to songs that were once ours;
maybe they'll lose their meanings
if i play them for hours.
shuffle, pause, play, repeat,
save me from this misery by memory;
yet i show signs of masochism,
opening wounds then rubbing salt,
unknowingly singing these songs
in thought of you.

your presence compares
to the soft kisses of the
4 o'clock sunshine.
