the angel sleeps

your pale lids
cover
eyes even more
so faint
yet solid as
the
walls around
my soul.
i have so
few needs
yet
so many wants.
neither fulfilled
only cast
on shadows
and whispers.
I melt into your
skin,
which is the
armor
covering the 
hopelessness i've made
my foundation.
I feel like a 
child;
awake in a world of
castles and 
melodies.
