i am always the last one asleep MAG
March 1, 2010
your breathing keeps me awake
with worry weaving up my throat
each of your sighs seems like the last
so I lie still as you sleep,
trying not to break the life that
pulls back, quivers, releases, and is retrieved
every time you inhale exhale
my hands are balled and tight
with the dreams I want to share
my nail touches my wrist
and my throat is clenched
with a murmur I need to make
but can’t seem
to push out of my lips
