Restlessness

I wonder about your nights.

 

Do you spend them alone staring absently

at the ceiling pondering listless thoughts,

or do you find me in every crack and pattern

your eyes lay upon.

 

Am I the stars that befall your night sky as

you search for the essence of yourself,

or do you simply gaze away into the pitch

black silence of your room.

 

Do you not dream of me while I’m away

or do I take presence in the surrounding

empty space.

We were like jagged and crooked

puzzle pieces trying to find a place

to fit but never could, for life had

cut us too deeply.

 

So we searched for our place among

the others in hopes of escaping our

solitude and finding acceptance but

the world showed us cruelty,

we only saw its darkness.

 

Misfortune had placed her veil upon us.

Again.

 

It was within ourselves where we decided

to look for meaning and purpose.

 

The true essence of our souls.

 

Still do we.

And that night we clung to each other

helplessly,  longing to fill ourselves with

one another we ventured deep within

our souls in search of our own ecstasies.

 

He sought to discover me, every part,

and lost himself as we collided and

exploded among a bed of stars that

lay for us.

 

I could feel myself awaken as our

bodies melted and became one,

and I was freed.

 

I had never felt more alive.
