Opening My Eyes

Wait... 

not yet awake 

sleep lifting and slipping away 

Sedation replaced by 

Pain 

Wait .. 

There are things I want to say before 

The sun steals 

This moment 

Dreams hazing my unopened eyes 

While my skin is warm 

While I'm wrapped & tangled 

Wait .. 

I'm alone

In this soft aching madness 

Broken thoughts 

Sighing into my pillow 

My hands reaching out 

Cold air

Cracks the facade 

The dream is gone 

Taking you with it

Wait .. 

If you were here 

I'd never 

Let 

Go 

-Poetic Angel
