Not An Incubus

while you 
sleep i'm not 
a guardian angel

just watching
you breathe
as your 

chest takes
in and then
lets out

the poetry
you give
me but

you're not
remming
but i am

always
remembering
you in my dreams

i need
nothing
to say as 

i lay my 
head on your
heart and all i need

is to
hear it
beating
