It's Dark*
And I'm cold
All the covers
Bunched up on your side
If I reach
Stretching just so
My fingertips
May just graze
Your warm skin
And when I try
To move closer
Just a bit
You seem to drift away
Can you feel me?
My desperation,
See it in your dreams?
Does my skin chill you?
Every time my fingertips
Dance across yours
I can hear you
Your shallow breathing
It's keeping me awake
Every time you breathe in
You take
A little more
Of me
Into you
But with every breath
You push
Even more
Of me
Out
Into the universe
Still away from me
I'm laying here
With you
Just out of reach
It's dark
And I'm cold*
But you're still asleep.
And I'm cold
All the covers
Bunched up on your side
If I reach
Stretching just so
My fingertips
May just graze
Your warm skin
And when I try
To move closer
Just a bit
You seem to drift away
Can you feel me?
My desperation,
See it in your dreams?
Does my skin chill you?
Every time my fingertips
Dance across yours
I can hear you
Your shallow breathing
It's keeping me awake
Every time you breathe in
You take
A little more
Of me
Into you
But with every breath
You push
Even more
Of me
Out
Into the universe
Still away from me
I'm laying here
With you
Just out of reach
It's dark
And I'm cold*
But you're still asleep.
