Cori Wunderlin Poet Free verse

Retreat

here we are again
side by side in the dark
the air suffocating, silence piercing our ears
just two empty souls.

there is so little left to say that hasn't been said so many times before.

I used to cry
but now
I lay here 
waiting

waiting for something to break the horrid silence.

sleep with come
and I can retreat to my dreams
or
maybe,
if I am lucky
my mind will rest.
