Poetry

Sleep

At night I curl up

Waiting for your warm embrace

And the lovely story you tell

Relaxing me

But you stay out late

Don't crawl into bed next to me for hours

Until you slip in unnoticed

And in the mornings you are oh so greedy

I try and push myself up to start the day

But you push me back down

Pinning me deep into my bed

Laying soft kisses across my jaw

Filling my body with such warmth

That it is unknown outside of your embrace

Making me shiver when I leave it

I continue to try to push myself up

Until you kiss me deeply

Pushing me back down

Making me give up

Fall into your warm embrace of sleep
