As I lay here<\/p>\n
I find amusement as I watch you sleep<\/p>\n
Your eye lashes, thick and long<\/p>\n
Play peek a boo<\/p>\n
With eyes unaware, they’re the target<\/p>\n
Of a gaze from a unloved lover<\/p>\n
Who longs for the touch, the kiss of pure affection that can’t help but flow from love<\/p>\n
Yet has settled for one night meaningless moments between mismatched souls<\/p>\n
Potential unmet<\/p>\n
Desires unfulfilled<\/p>\n
But you’re here<\/p>\n
Your snores fill this summer morning<\/p>\n
The birds’ songs dissipate<\/p>\n
Inside there’s a choke of the heart<\/p>\n
O, the grasp of heartache<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
