I Fall Apart as You Fall Asleep
by Amanda J CobbWorn out and stretched thin
from endless nights
spent watching subtitled movies
from countries I've never seen
because I couldn't sleep
with this heart full of unasked questions
since I reminded you that
I'll be boarding a plane
for the other side of the world soon,
and you laid complacent next to me,
only saying that it will be
interesting. 11/13/2004 Author's Note: Original title: "Insomnia."
