Patiently… Patiently I sit. 

You chest rises, then falls.  Behind your eyelids, your eyes dance as if lost in some strange world.  I know what you’re thinking.  You’re thinking don’t let me wake up.  Please, don’t let me out of this world.  And I won’t blame you for the simple fact that I can’t.  I can’t gather my wits enough to figure out why even the most terrifying dream beats this sad reality.  If it weren’t for you, I would sleep forever.   

We should sleep forever.

I wish as your dreams begin to fade.
