my head lying on your chest
syncing your breath with mine
tears ran down my face
you didn’t seem to mind
until I looked up
And realized
You are fast asleep
not wondering why
My sorrows are spilling on you
just idly dreaming by
and I questioned myself
And everything that night
wondered why I was lying there
why I had ever returned
as I look up at you
at peace
I wonder when I can feel like that
at ease
I run my fingers along your neck
kiss it slightly
wonder if this is really what love is
why I had never been warned
about the sleepless nights
the worried soul
the constant lies
the growing hole
of darkness that I have been thrown into
and can not escape
the confusion
the tears
the fears
but at least sometimes we share good nights
where we swear we love each other
even after the fights
where your love feels real
where it all feels real
when i think it feels right
until you’re asleep and I might
just think about it all
until into a sleep I pretend to fall
to quiet my mind
as I hope you awake
and kiss my forehead and make me forget
