Here. Now.
Here. Now
I can hear her breathing
Heart beating
bump bump, bump bump
slow beause she is sleeping
perhaps she is dreaming
I wonder what she is seeing
because I have trouble sleeping
even when I feel fatigue creeping
without sleep there is no dreaming
without dreams there is no waking
without waking there is no living
and without living there is only dying
so I am dying next to her
and when I am found they will only say
"he died in her sleep"
that I was there when she awoke
eyes open but not waking
eyes closed but not sleeping
and I would say to her
"Good morning, I am dead"
