Night Curls

A Poem by T. N. Hodges

staying up

to watch you sleep

timeless nights

take your time

treating love

like dead friends

clutch the sheets

shake and ascend

in the shallows

I need some help

in the gallows

I need a shelf-

you had me worried

I'm not so worried now

try and calm

all your ghosts

they can hold you back

above your head

here

we won't grow up

we'll just grow older

am I still here

We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. more..
