Sleep True
December 7, 2018
Sleep true to as I sit pleasantly
The silence invade my ears gently
Your sleep is sincere
Therefore i must not wake you.
Your body tortures me, punishing my head
As i hope for your sweet kiss upon my cheek
Your sleep forces me to cry
The tears fall slowly as if it were raining
Rain becomes a storm, slowly coming
The storm is quiet, to preserve your sleep
You will wake as you please
As your enjoyment is my comfort
The wind blows to tell a message
Screaming to wake you
Yet i am the one who is asleep
Listening to the silence as i sleep true

I wrote this piece after discovering the spanish poet Alfonsania Storni. After reading her poems, the dark and morbid tones led me to try mimicking her style.
