It's cold outside &
i crawl into bed
drowning myself in a sea
of blankets
my tired bones crave sleep
but my roused mind
wins the fight
with a brief taste of
an unconscious state
relentless thoughts expire
eyes grow heavy
body sinks into the mattress like
a stone in water
& in that very moment of warm safeness
I can finally breathe
without
you
