vickyyy

count behind vertical numbers
------------you fell asleep long ago
----------------------but something you don't feel keeps me awake
it wasn't my choice to breathe to this- life
there was no room for abortion

i'm tired; but it keeps me up here still
your breathing is staggered
---------it's the only thing that anchors me to the ground
-------------------but even tethered i'm beyond senses

far past the state where you rest
my hands tremble with this emptiness
i've been this far before but no answer was invented

letters make words that form sentances
i speak in a language which doesn't exist
but nobody weighs this for its substance
-------------no measurement would do here

i've worn out my resources
and i find solace in your embrace

just don't let me go too far
