Sunlight makes me sleepy
sometimes I can sit and wait
so patiently for someone with little time
I awaken with the sunset
letting the blackness surround
hearing nothing but the sound
of the emptiness so full
hardly noticed by most
but I am so thirsty
fill me up
of your whispers and secrets
being the only one who noticed
with all senses closed off
instinct and intuition
bleeding through
making way for me to find you
being made from dirt and stone
I bite my lip bursting with forgotten innocence
there is so much we hold
in skin and bones
blood seeping with heat
always so curious
to know how we confine
and hide inside
in plain sight
but no one ever knows.
