    When You Sleep

     Should I be here?
    Lying beside you
    Soothed by your steady breathing and
    Predictable heartbeat?

    When you reach for my body
    Is it the one you desire?

    Do you waken relieved
    That it's my warmth you've clung to all night?

    Or

    Do you long for another?
    The one you love?

    Does your subconscious mind
    Sleep with her when
    It's only me?
    Should I be here?

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
