the ceiling,
i stared
and you were
there.

above me,
sleeping soundly
so close but still too far
i couldn't further anymore.

i blinked my eyes
tried to erase you
from my mind.
no matter how hard i try,
you vision came more alive.

forgive me,
let me sleep
even let me cry
so it'll swollen my eyes.
when i can't open
them wide.
maybe then,
i will finally
be;

asleep.
