Sleeper

I will stop finding her hair I will stop hearing her breathing Fall asleep crushed between what you said and what I think Call me as I am - I'm yours Said I only give you meaning Like sorrow eaten, un-birthed secrets Bleeding back into each other's arms A howling sorry feathered quiet But after, you'll find me searching For a souvenir, a warning For the lick of night in morning Again I beg everything again Again I beg everything again Again Again I beg everything again Again I beg everything again Their voice was the life and song of their mother Holy and othered Unfinished and everything Floating unanchored in peaceful cathedrals Wondrous silence when I'm not awake Lovely was the loneliness of that wild lake Where I'm not waving, but drowning It's you I think I hear all the time
