Reboot

I trace my fingers through the smoke

Spelling out words I can't say

Dotting the 'i' with a dot

Because hearts slip away too quickly.

I spread my body across the sheets

Savouring every fold that brushes against me

Like the touch of god

gentle and fading.

I close my eyes trying not to think

That our eyes are never truly closed

Only shielded, only hidden

Yet we still go on seeing.

I hesitate

Leaving the lights off

So I can pretend it is night,

And wait to wake up in tomorrow.
