It took me one sleepless night of writing
poems about you
poems about us
of quietly suffering under the sheets of my bed
of letting the darkness around me enter
of letting desire consume my head.
It took me one sleepless night of writing
to promise I'll always put myself first
to hold my own hand
to lift myself up
when I'm at my worst.
Because darling, you may have the most tender fingers
But who got me out of the sheets today?
It was myself
because I'm here alone
and you are so many miles a w a y.
