No Light and Wide Awake

no light and wide awake
i touch you after sixteen hours
and the unrelenting pain

no light and wide awake
i relax as the vibrating 
reactions of my touch 
send inspiration for short
but sweet slumber to my
mind

no light and wide awake
dread dissipates as my body
rejuvenates and prepares for
the long but essential more of 
the same day that keeps me 
here in this vibe with you

no light and wide awake
i curse to myself two hours
and some change later as i
fight the determined diorientation
of my sleepiness and begin my quest
for the week's sweet ending
