– Resting Restless –
In the deepest hours,
I am resting restless;
Tossing and turning around you,
flailing little nightmares everywhere.
Even when the dreams you bless me with
are warm and pleasant and loving,
I feel I would be better off
without them to distract me
from what burdens I must carry
in waking from them to a world
that is so very cold and grey.
