and I am so tired that I cannot think of a more

eloquent word than just that, tired

all I can think about is how I want to fall

asleep in the marrow of your bones and

feel the strain of each day pulling on your

muscles and fall into sync with your sleep cycle

I want to hear you talk and say that it’s okay that

I don’t always want to wake up in the morning
