describe how you think the sky looks lately
how the leaves seem to fall in a certain pattern
what the silence says to you compared to what it says to me
sometimes the rain leaves love notes on my window
*meet me by the river
the one you see in your dreams*
i dream of the river kissing my eyelids
the cool water a warm blanket
tucking me in to sleep
i never sleep long enough
something tears me awake every time
the love note blown away
i find i’d been holding my breath
a gasp of air through aching lungs
almost as if i had been drowning
