Rest-Restless

By beamish

There is a heart beating in the chest 
of the stranger I lay next to 

In her rest- the arm that I rest my head upon

Flesh so real I feel everything
But still I look at her

Strangely thinking of my past

Have we seen a life - a time at some point before
Have we tasted each other's lips 

Was this meeting by chance or a mistake following our last 

meeting of confusion

She rests-I'm restless
Tense

Not knowing her face 
The name rings a bell 

But at times they all sound the same 

Her eyes flutter familiarity 

I shutter at the oddity of her 

The oddity of knowing that I don't even know

Who I am  So how could I know 

Her
