I wait

sighs sit soft
like white sheets in winter

I wait,
you wait

for a moment, I swear I can see the thoughts
crawling out of your head,
but it's just a shift in the shadows

you wait,
I wait

your eyes are tired like pillows -
I want to stroke your hair
until dreams drizzle your eyelids
and your face doesn't fight
expression
the way it does
when you're awake

I wait

I wait
