balancing [2-09-2010]

by Ava Blu



you can sleep through anything


with your head buried under the pillow
with your arms clutching the blankets


you can sleep through our hearts breaking
just long enough to wake up wondering

if it was a dream.

A grim, heartbreaking observation. Beautifully captured.
