Shadow At Rest

Two A.M.

My head on your shoulder

I listen to your heavy breathing

As I sort out the shadows

In the corner of our room.

I folded and placed them there

Before we went to sleep

Ready to be worn again tomorrow.

I place my hand on your chest

And feel its falling and rising.

Falling.

And rising.

Falling.

I smell your skin and am reminded

Of why I loved you.

I don’t know how long I wept

But you turned around

And grazed your fingers across my cheek.

And when you held me

You contained everything

Even the darkness.
