We

We sleep
tangled feet
arms and hair
thrown in every direction

I beat
the air
with my fists
tossing and turning

Your hand lifts
a father's fingers
calm a restless child
a lover's whispers
soothe my aching mind

Every day I find another
corner of your heart
that holds my face
and bears my mark

I never knew how
deeply I wrote
myself
into your life
How intertwined
our stories were

until you gave
me your all
wrapped up
in one
neat, shiny band...
I'm yours.

You sleep
and I count a
lullaby
in your heartbeats

My weak pulse
always fades
but yours just may
steal my breath away

We sleep...
