Long Morning

I dreamed 

this morning

you came to my bed. 

I was naked, but you didn't care.

I rose to receive my kiss,

but then remembered, and held you in exchange.

I like to believe you came for me,

to tell me of your regret. 

You probably came to absolve 

your guilt.

Though, I'm already aware.

Your mind won't change.

I will say I slept in, 

because it's been a damned long week

and I really need my rest.

Or, maybe I'll chalk it all up

by saying I'm depressed. 

But really, 

I just long for your embrace,

and I'll take whatever I get.

Love the end of that poem

Thank you! I love when little stanzas end up resonating.

A so real and sad depiction of many encounters that are one way. The whole poem is well portrayed but the final line seemed somewhat short? Maybe 'I'll take whatever I get' or I'll take whatever you give' ?

Thank you for the recommendation! The ending of the poem is always the hardest part for me.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Well then you are fortunate as every part is hard for me lol!

[May Fosnes]

Lol! But, well worth it, of course! :)
