Morning Distance

Inside,
I am dying
Your eyes
show nothing
within me

Don't want to
love you tomorrow
I want to love you
now

You tell me it's
morning
world awakes
We can't stay
in bed

What is it
in sleep
that pieces
us apart
again?

Promises
fill the closeness
with which we
hold each other
immobile

But there's no
touch
Our skin feels
different
when we only
look at it
