Girl

She'd folded herself 

underneath the sheets,

pressed up against me.

Soft skin, cold and pulsing

In the wake of sleep

I

sigh and turn on my side

raising my hand to her hair

What's her name, even?

I stroke her hair,

a tangled mess,

and she murmers

curling up further

A child, she is a child

And I, an angel from hell.
