Thoughts, Never Words. (Poetry Collection)

Are you awake?

Are you awake?

Because I have been awake.
Long enough to learn
How the sky bends
And breaks every night.
How It falls
and - whilst everyone else is sleeping -
I carry it on my shoulders
And I lift it back up into place,
Pick the stars off my bedroom floor
And glue them back on
In exactly the right places.

I have been awake long enough
To know exactly what time
The birds sing in the morning,

Long enough to forget how long
That I have been awake,
Long enough to forget my aching
Eyelids that scream to close,
Long enough to forget my breaking
Heart that falls with the sky.

Are you awake?
Because I, too, like the sky, am bending and breaking every night.
