simply sleep

by Angela Thomas

sure, i haven't spoken to you in a week. haven't
touched your face or had your arms around me.
haven't felt comforted or sat on the stoop shooting
the shit and telling you how i feel about whatever

is going on in life. we haven't sat together
and ate a meal. hell, haven't even had a single
drink at our local pub. haven't laid in bed
all day with a candle flickering on the side,

whispers and secrets flowing between
two less-than-perfect naked bodies. sure,
none of this has happened. but, i still dream
of you every time that i close my eyes, imagine

that you're back and i'm yours. i can barely
bring myself to sleep. insomnia keeps me sane.
