The Mercy of Sleep: A Poem on Longing and Unrequited Love

Finding Refuge in the Quiet Hours

In the silence of the room, the mind speaks the loudest.

The Weight of Rest

I lie here in the hollow of the sheets, cradling the thought of you like a secret, while the back of my mind whispers the truth— that you are a ghost I cannot hold.

The longing is a tide, heavy and rising, an unbearable hum in the quiet of the room. So I reach for the only escape I have left: I force my eyes shut, hoping to find in my dreams what the daylight refuses to give.
