sleeping awake
by ectar

i feel awful
having dozed off on you
last night
had one of the longest sleeps ever
this month
i bet
i was snoring even
hope you are feeling better
i know
you should not
have stayed up.


pulling strings

my heart races steadfastly
at the sight of you
wanting. needing. missing.
raging. denying. cuddling.
touching. laughing. crying.
understanding. longing. whispering.
praying. singing.
dying.
