i lay in my bed
feeling your arms around my waist
and your head resting on my shoulder
as your breathing comes to a steady pace.
i lay in my bed
closing my eyes slowly
allowing my soul to drift
into the wonders that my mind creates.
there is nothing i want more
than to lie in your embrace forever
your beguiling love keeps me here
and chains me with happiness.
there is nothing i want more
than to hear your steady breath
the sound that feels like lacy curtains
blowing softly in the wind.
i feel my heart pounding
as it shoots out of my chest
showering you with my affection
giving you my bits and pieces.
i feel my heart pounding
as i dream of the rest of our life together
holding hands, sharing stories
and tightening the bonds that hold us.
i wake up in my bed
not feeling your arms around my waist
your head not on my shoulder
and the sound of your steady breath absent.
i wake up in my bed
knowing that this was never real
because we are strangers by nature
and loving you was only a dream.

my name is xavier womack, i'm a fifteen year old musician and performing artist at an arts school in san francisco, and i've been writing for a few years. i find a sense of peace through poetry and free verse, as it allows myself to convey my feelings in a way that organizes them. i really can understand myself more and how i feel through my poetry, and most of the things i write are my life and about me. art has been in my life since i was really young, and it's really just something i have a lot of passion for.
this piece is about the love that i wanted to have in one specific relationship of mine, and also the love i've wanted to have with a partner. there are so many parts that i believe come out when one loves a partner, and i wanted to cover as many as i could. in reality, that love has never happened, and the person who i want to love is truly just a stranger.
