the war

it's 3 a.m. and i'm wide awake.

i've got a war in my head.

yes, our love is present,

but he is not present in our bed.

 

my heart has been crying for hours.

i hear it screaming for his sweet love.

i cradle it gently in my arms as i weep:

"he has given us more than enough."

 

but truth be told, enough is never enough,

just the scent of his skin intoxicates me.

i am cold as ice deep under thick covers,

for only his warmth alone can satisfy me.

 

it's 4 a.m. and i'm sleepy.

the war in my head has now died.

yes, our love is present,

and soon he too will be present by my side.
