Eyes wide awake at 3:28 a.m.
The chilling rattle of her snore
Kept him in a quiet disturbance
Medication schedules haunted his sleep
If only she could wake up and talk
And say their life together had been full
He knew but he needed to hear it again
In the morning
She stared from her pillow
With dawn’s light catching tears
In the corner of her eyes
Before there were words
Sputtering out in chopped pieces
That died as he cried.
