I look at it and am reminded of all the beautiful things that have died in my life. Like an elation Representing genuine love for you or the presence felt from your weight in my bed. And as I turn to switch off the light, sinking asleep on the shoulders of things Akin to shadows, my head is your head as it meets the pillow.
