Sleeping Beauty

SO close but so far away,
so certain yet always worried.
It's satisfying to watch you sleep 
when I lie restless in bed at night.
I am Grumpy, I am Jealousy,
This is so new to me
to feel this right is to kill my pain.
My pain of loneliness. I always
 understood my ugliness but for you,
Sleeping Beauty to think me sexy
brings out a light that's so bright 
it makes the sun look
BLACK!

I like this write. I hate sleeping alone too.
