crisis of conscience

Flat on back

feigning sleep

I need heat

to come to me

Settle me

into these sheets

Rock me gently

into sleep

Awakened now

to productive cough

Head is clear

heart is heavy

Everything

that was important

is not so today

Relationships

have more meaning

than anything that I achieve

Live for love

whether or not

you receive it

always be
the one to bring it
