Sleep deprived…

Exhausted!
Sleepless with eyes burning and an ache within…
It was nothing major… Just a few stolen moments of slumber while he held me… Maybe not even 5 minutes…
The next night, all I had to lull me to sleep was perhaps a lingering scent of him on the pillow. It brought me comfort; a false sense of belonging; of being ‘not alone’.
Today, even that has been washed away in the swirl of soap and water and the thrumming of the washing machine and I can’t sleep…
