Sleep

I am tired but
This is not the tired I am able to satisfy with sleep
Not the sleep you know of
It can be satisfied with my sleep
The sleep that is everlasting
The sleep many never awake from
My eyes are closing
And I don't want them to open again
I don't want to see, hear, or feel
Yet they are seemingly forced open
There is a person hovering over me
I know this person
I see you every day
In everything I do
I have always seen you
You have grown so fond of me
As I have grown to you
Yet I never believed you wanted me here
Until now
You refuse to give up on me after all this time
After all the hurt I have caused you
You won't let me fall
Into my sleep
I have the urge to apologize
For everything
For the salty water dripping down their cheeks
For you begging me to stay awake
For your arms that you feel the need to constrict me with
For me only able to sit here doing nothing; still affected by my attempt to sleep
I'm so sorry
I wrap my arms around you as well
Loosely, for all my energy has been drained
And the salty water present on your cheeks is now present on mine
I close my eyes and fall asleep
Temporarily
You will make sure of that
Thank you for being here
And thank you for staying
Again
I'm sorry
