(what occupies
behind those eyes tonight?)
(it's almost morning time)
well I can’t sleep with the dog barking in my ear
but I promise I can sleep without you here
*though maybe I could do without the thunderstorms of the room
next door
and sometimes hurricanes spit fires in the hallway
and I can’t extinguish flames which rise from the sea...*
but please don’t worry about me
my dear
I’ll be fine without you here
(I know you’re wondering,
the waves thrash only harder with time,
I know you’re pondering….)
I promise I’ll be fine
(promise me you’ll love that dog–)
I promise.
we’ll be
fine
