Edward Ibeh Poet Verse

Second Skin

last night, 
          my mind wore you 
as if you were 
          my favorite shirt.
such was my longing 
          for you 
i had no time 
          to count sheep
instead, 
          i counted days left 
before you return
          nagging thoughts of you 
consume me like...
          second skin.
