Insomnia
I cant find in me
A love that strikes all at once
Or chains me to your neck
Until my fingers cannot feel.
I look for interest in your company
Or in hearing your affection
Resonating in my heart,
But all I really want to know
Is if you’ll ever approve of my
Lurking about the city at night.
I wonder if you sleep still
While I drag my heavy body
Across groaning floorboards
Hand-in-hand with 3am.
You are my boyfriend;
I could call you—
Disrupt the air in your quiet box.
But I sink back into my pillow
And let you dream peacefully.
