insomnia

can't sleep in my bed anymore
you've permeated my safe space
in my dreams you linger
so gentle, whispering love, caressing my lips
I wake feeling warm, loved, heart singing
but I reach for you, you're not there
the space beside me, empty and cold
sinking reality takes over
I am alone
and you, who I have never touched, you who I love
you are on the other side of the world
under different skies
far from my body, my bed, my lips
but you've completely taken over my soul
