how do you send your love
to your sleeping lover?
how do you breach the limits of dimension
so you can love them in their dreams, too ?
and,
where can you keep your feelings—
your overflowing ones,
spilling through your flimsy reigns
and spiling onto the promise you made to yourself
and that you can wait, you got this
you're not starving for sustenance
but aren't you?
what else do you make out
from your pathetic moping
and your infinite yearning
like a dumb sunflower that spends the night
missing the sun
hey, darling
you are my sun
have i told you that?
it's alright, i'd tell you now
but, you're fucking asleep
i hope you're safe and sound
and i hope your dreams are kind and sweet
i hope you dream of me tonight
and i hope the me in you dream loves you
like you deserve to be loved
i hope she's holding you in her arms
like i wish i was holding you
and by god,
there is precious little i wouldn't give
to hold you in my arms right now
