Restlessness

As I lie awake next to you
another sleepless night,
the heat of your body close to me
(the coldness of your heart even nearer),
the chill bites deep to the core of me
leaving me to wonder how we got this
far
apart.
I remember nights before
when I watched you sleeping,
and the only
distance
between
us
was your dreams and my own restlessness
