At night
I lie next to you
your body heavy under the covers
your breath slow and steady
eyes moving in their sockets
like marbles
I think you are dreaming
about one of the thousand things
I never knew about you
because you never told me

And me
I am restlessly awake
counting past regrets
on cracks in the ceiling
they loop trough my head over and over
When it dawns
I am tired and stretched thin
eyes and heart equally heavy
I want tell you all about it
but I can only bring myself to whisper your name

And you are fast asleep
