2:34 am

as I lie down breathing
wondering if
tomorrow will ever come
your image quickly
passes over my head.

all these colors I see
in the dark
made me thought
that the dark may hold
feelings, too.

but my grandmother once said
"never trust the dark
for it shields
its true breath"
the thought of it
leaves me wary

so all i will
ever think about
is your eyes
your smile
your lips

i could feel it
and i could see it above me
for i am no longer afraid
