Sleep

Curl around like a cocoon.
Suffocating the light.
Dreams winding around,
entwining, holding, a lover of sorts.
Definite possession.
Shift.
Teetering reality.
Precarious sanity.
Hold tighter, I'm going to fall.
Empty hovering.
More gray than black.
Shift.
Vivid color.
Intricate story.
Emotional involvement.
Please please please, just a little longer.
Shift.
Cloudy reality.
Groping hand, no one there.
Loss.
