I sleep

I sleep
to dream
of waking and finding
the dream
is real

I sleep
to find your arm
around my back holding
me close and
not looking back
to see what
you've left

I sleep
to close my eyes and
imagine purple skies
where rain falls like tears
and no one cries

I sleep
to feel the sound a
kiss makes
when it breaks

I sleep to understand
what it means to
be who i am
and who that means
to me

I sleep
to sleep
tomorrow
another day
