Lately

Lately I haven't wanted to wake up in the morning... Sleeping in has reached a new meaning.... Hour after hour I think about all the things that need to be done... The laundry is piled and the trash needs to be taken out. I should meet a friend for coffee... Its beautiful outside. No matter how unattractive or appealing today seems. I just want to sleep. Because every time I wake up I realize you're not here. Everytime I open my eyes to see u missing My heart stops. So I don't want to wake up. Maybe I'll just stay asleep until I Feel your hand press on my back like u used to...or hear the familiar rise and fall of your breath. And then I'll know its safe to awake. And feel my heart beat again. -K*Starr
