sleeping dreams

© PMV

and in the wake of the darkness
the lack of sleep overwhelms
as this empty void beside me grows

attempting to fill the gapping wound
gently removed with the dull blade
found on the end of the table

can you see me now with your closed eyes bleeding?
through this painful sleep
we shall awake on the other side
rested

little one

I want a baby

or maybe or puppy

or just a bunny

or... a really good book.
