    Soft morning light peaks through the shaft of my basement window
    Right arm clasped round you, left arm falling asleep underneath me


    You moan in your sleep to go away
    Soon enough mom`s going to know you`re still here

    It`s been a week and a day
    What are we doing here?

    You don`t kiss me anymore
    I`m doing all the work it seems
    though you hold me close and whisper in my ear
    and fell asleep, hugging my feet

    You confuse me
    I let you in too fast
    Setting myself up to get hurt but
    that look you give me clears it all away

    You tell me to call you
    You don`t call back till 3 hours later
    if even

    You really care about me
    You`re not worth my time
    they say...you say

    I brought this on myself
    and I can`t tear myself away

    From your side
    while we`re laying here
    in this soft morning light
    snoring like a truck
    your arm clasped around me

    Amazing. I really like it! Sometimes, that's how I feel about my boyfriend. You just wrote it in a more elegant manner.

    Peace and love

    Hurts so good. That's a painfully sweet one Maki.

    If you've ever read Rod McKuen, that's what it reminded me of. Tres excellent. :)

    I think everyone can relate to that. That's why it's so powerful. I know I've been there one too many times and I'm sure to walk down that road again. Thanks for awakening the painful memories. Just kidding, it was beautiful.

    that has got to be one of the most excellent uses of a word I have ever seen, I would offer for your consideration that you have a poem in you, for that word alone.
    It greives me the suffering that goes on in the name of love. People would do well to remember that love is a four letter word ;)
    Seriously though what people need to understand that "falling in love" is a pathological state, what needs be, is becoming in love, for that is a neverending process.
    What is one of the most primal fears of a human? Falling of course, that fear goes all the way back to the trees, and not so much for the potential of injury from the fall, but because of what dwelt on the jungle floor..... predators!
    fare thee well, wheresoever thee may fare, may the faring be well.
