Jessica's husband loves waking up next to her


My head it swims my ears they ring

My lips a soft tune for me, I sing

My eyes they blink, my bones they clink

My sense of existence swooning 

My mind is blank as into the darkness I stare

As strange shadows dance across the wall

Changing their form with every blink

Deeper into my seat I sink

As I see the face across the wall

I slump- utterly shaken utterly stirred
