A silence with you
Is not
a silence

But a moment rich
with peace

You were broken
I was broken
But our broken parts fit
together, perfectly.

Its Late
or early
there’s no difference anymore.
Sleep is a ghost that taunts,
a memory that haunts,
and a feeling that I can't quite remember.
I move towards it,
never getting closer
always the same distance away.
I want it,
badly,
my eyes
are heavy,
but still
its too far out of reach.
I can't ignore this.
I can't rest.
Too many thoughts,
too many feelings,
rocking me at my core.
All I want to do
is lay down,
close my eyes,
and drift off
into a deep
sleep.
Where all my problems
and worries,
cease to exist,
if only for a few hours.

My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.

I'll *******,
If you want.
Cause I want it
Just as bad as you do.
But I also want to hear the rustle of the sheets
When you turn over in the middle of the night.
I want to feel your hot breath on my neck.
I want the stubble on your chin to graze my cheek
As you kiss me gently on the forehead.
And when I whisper "goodnight," you don't have to reply.
Just nudge me with your knee
Or poke me with your elbow.

Its 7:30am
She's still in my bed
I don't know this woman
She has become a stranger
though she used to be
someone more profound
The sunlight hits
her face and
I'm reminded of who
she once was
She really is beautiful
but beyond that
I don't know her
I'm tired, worn out
sick of waiting
for the day
she turns to me
and tells me that
she is back
from the abyss
of her
depression

They say blind people can still dream pictures
As their eyes close, their eyes open to the world
My eyes kept you close when they shut
Holding you as tightly as you held me
But I wonder if we are seeing different dreams
Do you ever see my colours in your sleep?
Answers cower in dark corners
Along with my courage
My words speak of dreams and colours
But I live in plain black and white
Confining my happiness to an area the size
Of a tea cup
Swirling, rainbow dreams swallowed and forgotten

— The End —
