Learning to Sleep

I feel like I’m learning how to sleep again

Like it’s something my body forgot

Without you next to me

I can’t relax

Can’t let down my guard

This feeling, this need

Buried in me like a seed

Dormant, it sleeps

Even when I cannot

So I wait patiently

For you to water my soul

With your own need

With your love

Knowing that only then

Will we both remember

How to sleep

Again
