my conscious hand extends out into the air suspended over his back the night has fallen, the birds won't be calling until the morning comes to attack
he might be asleep, but his aura is mindful the bed feels half its size the blanket that surrounds his body barely graces my thigh
I'm trying not to breathe, I'm trying not to be because i'm sleeping next to a fuse nothing feels natural about this like swimming in a pool with both of your shoes
my knee bumps a place on his thigh and now i hold my breath all-together as uncomfortable as i would be in the texas heat wrapped in a woolen sweater
what a tragic accident i reminded him i was there when he was in route to a place of being blissfully unaware
we're too close for being so far apart though it's beating next to me, where is his heart? our love found its passport and traveled on these inches should be miles, how much longer til we're gone
