im awake too early.
you couldn’t sleep last night, so you woke me up, needing me to calm you down. you had worked yourself into a panic so i made the right sounds and talked you down from the ledge in your mind until we both drifted off.
now i’ve stirred and i can’t sleep. i lay next to you in silence, waiting for the sun to rise. i guess it’s symbolic of the little inconsistencies in the way we live. you expect to be cared for, i am expected to care. it doesn’t often bother me, most times i am happy to give.
but sometimes i want to be carried too.
