So peaceful here
Watching you sleep
Quiet now in slumber
I wish to stroke your face
Hold your tiny hand
So close to me
Yet a million miles away
The machines beep
Each sound a beating heart
How long now?
A day, a night a lifetime?
My breath fogs the glass
Between me and you
Tubes, oh so many tubes
For one so little
You are strong
I whisper again
Don’t wake now
To see my tears
Stay in your dreams
Be still
Run with unicorns
Until you wake
To find me
So close
Yet a million miles away
Here my love always
