we lay
together in a
tangle
of legs
as the rains
hit the glass
our hearts
regulated
metronomically
as one
my eyes
open
i reach out
to feel
your warmth
pull you in
closer
but the bed
is empty
an expanse
stretching
from my
burgeoning wave
of impending
sorrows
each time
i close my
fitful orbs
desperate to
find that moment
but all that
remains
is an echo
of two hearts
sleepily
thumping as one
shivering down
my longing
as my heart
sputters
out of time
