PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We’re half asleep, can’t

fool me now, please

tell me if I’m right or wrong

We parry, thrust,

let me leave if you’re

going to keep slipping away

I see the light

at the top of the stairs,

maybe you left it on for me

But if my teasing ghost

flips the switch back and forth

let me go before I dive too deep

Wide awake, I’m swearing

and sweating off your touch

and everything sweet you ever told me

But you stay half asleep,

spending careless compliments,

throwing away everything I gave
