He sleeps while I lay awake
No news.
I think this is the nature
of boys.
How many times have I lain awake
while a boy I was ******* slept?
Sometimes when you are faced with absurdity
All you can do is sleep.
I think I've made a terrible mistake
but this isn't the first time I've felt
this way.
I am not to be trusted.
I don't think I've slept in nearly two years.
Instead closing my eyes only in the merciful combination of desperation and design.
Last night he went to sleep at 12:03
I listened for his breaths to slow.
I rubbed my feet together
softly;
In near panic.
And didn't turn on Josh Ritter until
12:33.
Aside:
Falling in love =/= being in love
Life is all about lessons. Choices.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I never felt alone until I met you.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Not alone like this.
Do you dwell in this space also?
Am I less alone in at least that much?
Sleep softly, babes.
