Sleep Diagonal

Stretched out, awkward and long
two pillows instead of one, two sides instead of just mine
emptiness on any bed
I'm reminded I sleep alone.

I'm reminded there's room for two
but only one permenant guest
from one corner to the other
I dream for two
I sleep for two
I dream of you

Solitude at its finest, my heart desires
I wait for the sun to set
And I force myself to wake before the sun rises
I escape into my thoughts, my hopes
I design the perfect remedy for me
It's quick and complex
Skip from one to the next, reminding myself I sleep alone

But my heart's in it each time
But each skip never matches any beat of mine
I dream of you, I'm in need of you

The stars shine bright, but my nights get longer
I wonder, will I sleep diagonally forever ?
I fold under pressure, give into temptation
My heart waits longer, this wait time is never-ending.

I dream of a perfect day
A perfect place to spend the perfect time with a perfectl face that becomes even more beautiful over time
Breakfast in bed, feeding your heart
Never a kiss goodbye, always flowers instead
Lilacs and lillies, roses on Christmas
Candle lit dinner, a promise to begin with.

I dream of smiles, I dream of laughter
My heart's still fragile, your heart's much harder
But still still cracked in random places
Flaws and all, I dream I'm in love with your pain
Your side effects show, but I'm in love with your strength.

I do have my own, I do hold my own
I dream of what we could hold
I dream of a heart to console
I dream of a love to mold

Fairytale fantasy, no villians, just heroes
She's beauty and the beast
She's the servant, she's the Queen
She's Cinderella before the ball
She's beauty, flaws and all
I dream of magic and bliss
She's sleeping beauty, she's healed with one kiss
She's impressionable, she's memorable
She's my misfit, she's my quick pick
My win for life
My scratch-off that I never backed off from, instead I clenched my fists, found my grip and never backed off.
My jackpot, my earnings
My riches, my gold, my yearnings
My fortune...
Teller and cookie, I'm deserving.
I dream of tears of joy
Tears and joy
I dream for years to come
I toss, I turn
I frown, I yearn
When the sun's up.

Pillows damp, no flowers, no chance
No breakfast, no hand
I toss and turn because there's room for it.
My dream hasn't come true yet, but I still dream of it.

To love forever, hypothetically speaking of course
Once morning comes, I'll still be diagonally sleeping of course.
