I will not sleep with you in my mind.
I made my choices,
and they have lead me thus far.
It is only temporary,
I tell myself,
Like everything else.
Envelops you like a sea
then releases you gasping on the shore;
I’m trying to enjoy this,
Take it by the ticking of the clock,
But Time says he’s leaving,
and Life says, "no".
I made my choices
You made yours too.
I will not sleep with you in my mind.
