you give me options
between death or life
between sleeping pills or coffee
and i would like to stay awake for years
just to hear the sound of you snoring
i would choose coffee
but
sleeping pills take the best of me
of my curiosities
wondering if you still there
fondling me in my sleep
and count the minutes every breath i take
inhale exhale
your love suffocates me
and i forget what oxygen tastes like
because your lips
are both my sleeping pills and my coffee
that i would take both at once
