Sleeptalker

things done in the day that s/he doesn’t want him/her to know come out at night when s/he sleeptalks & upon waking, s/he worries that something might’ve come out, that these secrets, that these longings, that all these fantasies which stir throughout the day might make themselves known aloud & that the person sleeping next to him/her might hear them, that they might remember them until morning, that they might offend, terrify, make them jealous, or perhaps make it so bad for them that leaving the bed, the apartment, the house, before sunrise, suddenly sounds like the best option.
