once more
to watch you sleep
eyelids fluttering
breaths deep and easy
this is the last time
you will lie in my bed
under my sheets
indenting my pillow
your flawless sunset hair
flowing like cascades
my fingertips tingle
above your angelic skin
this is the last time
with the sun
you will leave
and the moon
will not see your return
i will be alone soon
and you will be free

to watch you sleep
eyelids fluttering
breaths deep and easy
this is the last time
you will lie in my bed
under my sheets
indenting my pillow
your flawless sunset hair
flowing like cascades
my fingertips tingle
above your angelic skin
this is the last time
with the sun
you will leave
and the moon
will not see your return
i will be alone soon
and you will be free
