I dreamt last night that you might love me. That between the sheets were whispered words Cradled verses. Our tongues rolled like tiny boats on the highest tides And when I let out bellowing laughs, you covered my mouth I dreamt last night that you might need me. That we drove for centuries in a lemon of a car Just to get away. We rolled the windows down in stormy, icy weather And when I could not stay awake you let me sleep Last night I cried so hard I thought my house shook and shifted from its base. I felt no relief this morning. I felt no freedom, no sighs escaped my heavy heart and sagging lungs. Only longing, only wanting. Only questions filled my mind. Bed ridden I dreamt last night that you were miserable. I wasn't crying then.

Selfishly hoping
I dreamt last night that you might love me. That between the sheets were whispered words Cradled verses. Our tongues rolled like tiny boats on the highest tides And when I let out bellowing laughs, you covered my mouth I dreamt last night that you might need me. That we drove for centuries in a lemon of a car Just to get away. We rolled the windows down in stormy, icy weather And when I could not stay awake you let me sleep Last night I cried so hard I thought my house shook and shifted from its base. I felt no relief this morning. I felt no freedom, no sighs escaped my heavy heart and sagging lungs. Only longing, only wanting. Only questions filled my mind. Bed ridden I dreamt last night that you were miserable. I wasn't crying then.
