I can’t sleep.

3:29am

Senseless imagination
Dangerously turned dreams
To nightmares
Blurry nighttime blackness
Straining eyes
Waiting to see the first glow of dawn
Violently silent
Ears pressed against the dark bedroom night
Maybe I will get up early
And quietly watch light appear through the blinds
Our blinds
Our house
Our life
Us

I miss you.
You breathe beside me, and I miss you
Desperately

Maybe I will get up early
But I know that’s not true
I will finally close my eyes
As the day is ready to take us somewhere new
My eyes will be heavy
But I will smile just to see you
