It's 3am
I'm on the couch (too far from you)
Feet soaking in an old cooking ***
Filled to the brim with cold water
Fading in
Fading out.
Morning light creeps in
And I wonder if I've slept at all.
Someone want to trade skins? Mine's too sensitive.
Kelly Hogan Apr 2015
In the beginning,
Your words made complete sense
Sentences flowed with perfect grace.
But as we aged
Your words started to slip away
Along with yourself
And you slowly fell
Into madness.

In the beginning
My words were soft spoken and rare
Sentences whispered only in your ear.
But as we aged
My words grew confidence
Along with me
And I listened to you
Slowly fall
Into madness.

I had a dream last night
That you found me again
All open arms and waiting
To forgive you.

But when I woke,
The coppery taste of blood on my tongue
I knew the dream
Was just a lie.

A whisper away
Even though I can hear you
I cannot see you.
Kelly Hogan Mar 2015
I dreamt I was you.

You wept when you saw yourself

Reflected in me.
