Sleeping Pills

the look on your face

was the pain

that i felt

when you told me

 

i wanted to touch you

to make it okay

 

fingers entwined

your body on mine

i will be your sleeping pills

Very unique way to interpret a comforting feel, from a person close to you. Beautifully described in few words, Rachel. Check out some of my poems. Might find some you like.
