this idea of breaking

each other’s will

defences & keeps

yet falling asleep

she is who she is

remains the same

it was not me

broke the trust

we felt we had

but her

& here she is

fast asleep

until the morning

no idea

no regret

no sense of betrayal

those are all mine

she is fine

if i don’t like it

i can lump it or

leave her

in the meantime

she dreams on

my conqueror

sleeping on sweet

innocence of a child

me in my defeat

awake & broken

wondering just what

i do next

get me on my feet
