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.
