flying.
high above the clouds
while sleeping on the floor
i rise
and then i plummet
black shades of night descend
turning my heart to stone
i was always scared of the dark
…
i wake up
the sun shining along the skin of my back
i stretch with a smile
knowing i’m safe here with you
i turn my cheek
with a sigh of relief
but then i open my eyes
in shock and disbelief
to see you gone
again
before the end of the week
