"when the night is someone else's"

[BabyGrace]

I'm tired
I just want to lay down
carry my limp body through
'til morning
don't touch the stars
they might burn you
flame a hole through this darkness
and lift you
come closer
sweet lips whisper
things I don't want to hear
please
I don't want to hear
I want to sleep
rests heavy on your eyelids
as you drift away
running out over the counter
into the night
but there's no one to catch you
pull you into the daylight
so far away
I just want to sleep
please


------------------
I spend my whole time running
He spends His running after me...

I really like the rhythm in this

 

[The Wanderer]

great imagery...

don't touch the stars
they might burn you
flame a hole through this darkness
and lift you
come closer
sweet lips whisper
things I don't want to hear

great poet

Thank you, both of you

Wanderer, coming from a poet like you that is an incredible compliment.
