Soft BreathsA Poem by Sleep PracticeI watch you dance skin touches like a warm bath on a cold day I want to sink in and never leave I want to let go and drown in you time moves forward you are alone your head is heavy and your body deflated the whiff of a familiar perfume a strong nostalgia when all of you was alive and when you were living when you were in a warm embrace a connection through waves a connection through grasping hands and heavy
breaths we embrace stopped only by the barrier of skin I open my eyes and I am not there I sleep and I am alone I awake and you are not there time slows it drags and it grates it watches and it waits I wait I reach for something I know I can’t touch lips brush my hand soft breaths a whisper you can almost hear a shadow in the distance something familiar a feeling you can’t remember you reach for something you know you can’t touch a memory when you danced when our skin touched when you were warm on a cold day when we were whole when all of us was alive and living we reach and grasp but we are alone © 2017 Sleep Practice |
