nightmares
he wakes up covered in sweat
she smooths the hair back from his brow
do you want to talk about it?
he shakes his head
his chest is streaked with sweat
she places her hand over his heart
talk to me
please
he looks at her with veiled eyes
distrust and longing and fear
he falls into her shoulder
burrows his face her neck
and he tells her the tragedy of his life
that now when he is more broken then ever
he wants to love more than ever before
