You often have dew dripping off of you,

like my sweat pores down my body when I get nervous,

it happens a lot.

My anxiety pulls me closer to you,

rendering me restless.

The gravitational pull is stronger,

between us, because we matter more.

We covalently bond, our way around the earth.

As the darkness swallows the sky,

For hours it creeps into each window of my apartment,

the only hope to have,

is remembering we will meet up again,

when the brightness decides to fight back,

The dark sky has taken up all my energy,

keeping me caged within the night.

I lack the will to see you past an hour,

of rubbing eyes and yawning frowns.

I beg to experience each inch of you,

but no, I’m forced to get in bed,

with you as soon as you show up,

I can’t wait to slip between the sheets.

It’s been forever.

Dawn says she loves me,

I am the only regular she sees,

this early in the morning.

I almost do it willingly.

I convince her that it is not the restless thoughts,

that tosses and turns my hair all night,

but that I just enjoy seeing her,

I watch her rise and I aspire to be like that,

but I am too weak to move.

It’s been a long night.

My red eyes are begging for me to sleep.
