Night-time Fantasy

Kristyl Gravina

The smell of your skin
As you sleep next to me
Your shoulder my pillow
I trace a finger across your chest
Softly; so as not to wake you up
So as not to remember
That all this is a pretence
A memory; of something which was real
But which no longer is
I slip my head off your shoulder
and turn my back to you
Slowly; so as not to wake you up
And I try to sleep;
Breathing your scent
Wishing We were still real
