An Eternity Between The Snooze Buttons

by No-names

Alarm clock We are laying together on the floor talking about stuff, and I try to tell you but someone walks in the room and then you look at me and say "Is this one of those conversations where you tell me how much you like me"? and I say yes I place my hand over my chest and say "I have been alone in here for 10 years" snooze button We lay in bed together with your body pressing against mine Your sleep is so restless but I just lay there imagining that i'm looking up at the stars deep in thought and wide awake I can't seem to fall asleep, even in my own dream sadly contemplating eternity i want to build your dreams but you put me at odds with myself and my responsibilities snooze button I'm beginning to lose focus the world is falling apart My thoughts are confusing me Alarm clock My wife nudges me and I sit up Am I really awake?
