your space.

by Emily G Myers

i have fallen in love
with the shape of your space
& the pillow
with eyelashes sleepily shed
or the smell of a blanket
as i'm falling asleep

somehow it's better
just to be near your sleep

my heart breathes a fire
my lips can't contain

Author's Note: yes, the two do go together. kind of.

I like this for several different reasons, but what stands out the most is the last line..."my heart breathes a fire my lips can't contain"...it just grabbed me & took hold.
Love it!

"my heart breathes a fire my lips can't contain" is a great final line. High marks all across. Nice work.
