I lay my hands on you; fingers intertwined <br />as if I am about to utter a prayer <br />The sky outside is quite blue <br />but I wish it was a little grayer <br />Wrapped with disinfected white sheet <br />you tiny, soft thing yellow <br />Within your fluffy stuffing <br />surely are spaces, you surely are hollow <br />You have witnessed how my muscles twitch <br />whenever I sleep, whenever I hallucinate <br />That crazy morphine side effect <br />is just really hard to eliminate <br />You've heard my scream, you felt my fear <br />You heard my heartbeat sound clear <br />I am grateful you don't deflect <br />the palpable sensation from one closer than near <br />As I fall into a deep, deep slumber <br />you are my sole company <br />I hope someday you'd learn to sing a song <br />that you may hum me a melody<br /><br />Estrellita Dedel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/talking-to-a-pillow-inside-room-22/
