In this fog of mine,
I wake to silence when I expect
Your breathing—
Your soft face, at least.
But I am met with the cold room,
And a journey outwards pulling my feet.
I fall up and down the small steps,
Searching for your nest moved,
And I walk with purpose as if the destination
Is known already to me.
Upon entering the room I routinely sleep,
My blue walls encase us both,
Like an unexpected but needed hug,
And I am met with your breathing—
Your soft face, at last.
You are sleeping away in my bed,
And I walk out, leaving you be.
Interestingly enough,
I couldn't go back to sleep.
For I journeyed to find a girl,
And found her right where I wanted her,
Yet made no move.
Do you remember?
A sleeping beauty, if you will,
Awoke to tear my heart apart.
