sometimes i open my eyes
but i never wake up
drifting
wandering
mouth opening to no sound
breathing without air
if i could speak
i would say all the words
you want to hear
but darling
speaking is harder than waking
so believe me when i say
not with words
but through action
that i need you
and someday
i may wake
i may speak
as long as you wait
