Cotton Sheets

10 1 1

I lay with dandelions intertwined amongst my curls

staring up into the vast blue sky

the clouds spread like cotton sheets,

waiting to absorb me as if i were a raindrop on a petal

Please take me

take what is left of these broken pieces that make up my body

Please take me

put my mind at ease and my soul to rest

For eternity

Please take me

for the sun and the blue skies appear more gracious

than the world i am living in

Please take me
