collarbones

I bask in the comfort of your closeness

limbs a tangled mess

skin sticky with last night's memories

not real

traces of a touch lingering

burning, almost painful

with each exhale you drift further away

I inhale

then hold my breath to keep you

the scent that lives in that hollow

where your collarbones meet

holds the very essence of you

contently trapped here

by the thought of your arm

resting heavy over me

until the morning light

bursts the bubble

the dream lost
