carebear

She'll be thirsty with no water
The water is anywhere but inside her

And when the sun moves across her bed
Onto her pillow into her eyes
She'll roll over

She won't get up
She won't close the blinds
She deserves to squint
to toss and turn
She thinks so

The day will end like it started
A rainbow
A stillness
Never-ending blue
Nothing to do
but lay awake

She'll toe the twisted sheet
She'll be on her back all night in bed
Ankles crossed
Elbows out
Hands behind her head
Blank stare up to the blinking red

Thinking nothing but everything
Her worries will pass through one by one
She'll sigh and nod to each as they become the sun
Aiming for her squinting eyes

But she won't get up
She can't close her mind
Besides, she deserves this
She knows it
