Slumber

Like now, we should be talking

Like now, we should be together

Like now, we should be spending

The time of our lives

Like now, you should be

In between my arms

Tossing and turning

On my longing chest 

Like now, we should be

Keeping each other alive

By the warmth of our bodies

By the warmth of our love 

Like now, we should be planning

The world we have ahead

Like now, we should be soothing

The roaring voices in each other’s heads

Now you’re not with me

We’re not together

We’re not speaking

We’re in a death like slumber

Now we're separated

We're both lying still

Holding stone hands

Sleeping in the same bed

Now we’re separated

Not by choice

And we’re in the waiting line

For our slumber to end
