Slip Away

by

I’d like to slip into someone’s arms

and fall asleep there.
Just lie back and relax,

knowing that things are finally alright,

that I’m safe,

and happy.

I’d like to be swept away in dreams

of something good,

someone new,

some perfect idea of a relationship

that can never happen.

In the gray behind my eyes

I can see the clouds parting,

eventually,

and relentless happiness.

However, I fear these are only dreams.
Some formation of my mind,

some stirring in my unconscious

that I cannot grasp.
Something and someone

beyond my rather short grasp.

NEXT?
