Watching You Sleep

By DarkDruidess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As I sit here watching you sleep Thoughts randomly surface I love the way your hair curls Around my finger so softly The way those dark eyes Can stare right into my soul One touch from your hand Sets my soul on fire I beg my heart not to love you For I see the leaving in your eyes I sense the exit in your words I sit trembling on the edge Of this impending heartbreak Soaking up all that you give to me Building memories etched on my soul Even knowing that you will say goodbye My mind still spins fantasies Where you and I are shooting stars Dreams that sustain and keep me I tenderly caress your handsome face Living in this beautiful moment I entreat the gods to let me stop time And spend forever watching you sleep Written April 7th, 2002 © on Apr 07 2002 04:11 AM PST, Tami Ellis   0 • 8
