You cracked open your ribs
to murmur soft lullabies into the night
just for him to sleep tight
but all he fathoms is a tired sigh
as the blankets ruffle, tangled up around him
the night takes him away
in a matter of heartbeats
the silence speaks to you
leaving you gasping for air
as you reminisce your body moulded into his
his kisses engulfing you
his scent unwrapping you
his touch mesmerising you

but darling those nights
have shattered into unspoken words
leaving you behind
