Every inch of my body
Rubs off against the soft comforter
I sink in
My warm surface
Cancels off the cold sheets
We eventually merge into one
It is now me
I look at your skin
But only know how soft it feels upon touch
Disbelief
We can’t see the sun
We are in a box
It’s quiet but I hear your thoughts
And in this moment
I’d ask for no end
But even the grounds we step on
Can’t promise it will not be reduced to rubble
I’d say I love you
But you already know
And even if you don’t
I hope you would eventually come to know
Words
Actions
Breath
Touch
Gaze
I await you to gain consciousness again
That 5 seconds was unexpectedly long

Every inch of my body
Rubs off against the soft comforter
I sink in
My warm surface
Cancels off the cold sheets
We eventually merge into one
It is now me
I look at your skin
But only know how soft it feels upon touch
Disbelief
We can’t see the sun
We are in a box
It’s quiet but I hear your thoughts
And in this moment
I’d ask for no end
But even the grounds we step on
Can’t promise it will not be reduced to rubble
I’d say I love you
But you already know
And even if you don’t
I hope you would eventually come to know
Words
Actions
Breath
Touch
Gaze
I await you to gain consciousness again
That 5 seconds was unexpectedly long
