last sleep

© April-Lea

'you're pretty in the dark' is all i can muster

as i watch you sleeping peacefully

and the light of day creeps in to break our silence

i can't sleep again

my head hurts from all the circles 

i've been running

in my dreams

my eyes water as my head throbs

with the weight of this lovestruck hangover 

often too much to bear

the wishing wanting waiting worried

that I may miss you more than most 

is what weighs heaviest on my 

burdened soul

sighing, in the breathless air

just to feel you breathe again, 

your wind on my cheek 

and breeze in my hair

longing to be wrapped within the strength of your arms

whisper in your ear

as you hold me tight enough to let me fall asleep

what i really miss
