The sun was slow to wake up
this morning like you were
as I lied with eyes fixed
on dark ceilings
for hours on end.
Another restless night
as I'm going through
my entire dating timeline
from start to finish.
I ponder just how
to come clean to you,
what to say to bring us
back into the right rhythm.
There is nothing
I don't want you to know;
I want to be expose
like I've never been.
This marriage bed,
the land of breakthroughs,
this safe place where tears
do not mean separation
but transformative growth.
