falling sheets.

By eidos




on mornings such as this
I think back to waking next to you
and realize that you have gone from
the dream that chose to reside in real life
to simply the reason that I now
talk in my sleep.

and I'm stuck between tasting you
in the form of eyes closed
and heavy breathing

or

simply laying here.

    Ache me to pieces. It's like gasping for air to breathe and swallowing for water to drink simultaneously because you're suffocating and dehydrating all at once.
