I want to fall asleep
A heavy blanket carrying my agony
The melatonin in my blood stream,
My skin aching for the heat of steam.
How freeing it must be, my weight sinking in a
vague daydream. A place safe to scream.

I want my body to
dissolve. No hands involved.
All alone
Perhaps there are more who sleep, in the comfort
of their body. Limbs heavy and weak.  
We never met ,yet share
the same bed.
Maybe my scream leaps, and I want you feel.
Like silk stretched over steel
Your skin was an easy barrier to peal

And even with closed eyes we
remain cautious
We share the same conscious
Are supposed to have a connection? When you look in
my black eyes all you see is
a reflection.
I want to fall asleep
conceal all trouble my mind keeps

And when my eyes are closed I am finally seen.
Revealed and naked it feels surreal.
