In the dark, you shed your layers of clothing like a snake does their skin.
You strip everything dead and fictitious away, and it's just us.
You crawl under the sheets.
We sleep facing one another and exist a few feet apart.
The silence is like memory foam, and when I wake up,
I glance over at you,
There's something dangerous about the way you make me never want to start my day.
