Hooked into this habit, <br />staying up late, two AM; <br />my lover drools on my pillow; <br />I watch his dreaming state. <br /> <br />To compensate <br />for these eyes' dark circles, <br />and ecstatic dreams lost, <br />I write this before I sleep.<br /><br />Melanie Agua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-before-sleep/
