asleep

pre-text: always felt like that when i slept beside someone that i loved. its a feeling that i never could really capture, a mix of amazement and ...fear.

muse: hk and sda


carefully peel away all your layers,
emotions like masks remove them one by one
and strip down to your bare skin

you must be tired from dancing to the tune of life,
exhausted all outlets to be something for someone else
so retire into a world where only you matter

breathe in slowly, softly and oh so silently,
then exhale all the pentup frustrations within
your heart feels lighter already

just staring at you almost makes me cry
you are so beautiful,
so beautiful i shake to feel you

vulnerable and fragile,
i am afraid to shatter you
and the dreams that you are chasing

so i let you lie beside me
and fall asleep in your arms,
hoping you will watch me when you wake.
