Touch you meekly
In your somber sleep
Watching as you swiftly
Fall from my trepedating defeat
Poisoned matrimony
Alienation
Segregation
Simple words for a monstrous predicament
What is it that you dream about
When you close your eyes so willingly
I close my eyes and what I feel
Encumbers me so unfathomably
Waiting for you to wake up
Wake up for the first time
Is it love?
Or is it addiction?
Lying alone in the dark
Waiting for you to show me that it’s just that easy
Like the commercials say to sell a product
If it were something I could really believe in
I’d remark, it’s just my luck
Cold and unsheltered
Breathing into the floor
A very strange addition
To the day before
Waiting for you to wake up
to open your eyes for the first time
