crisis of conscience

Flat on back
feigning sleep
I need heat
to come to me
Settle me
into these sheets
Rock me gently
into sleep

Awakened now
to productive cough
Head is clear
heart is heavy
Everything
that was important
is not so today

Relationships
have more meaning
than anything that I achieve
Live for love
whether or not
you receive it
always be
the one to bring it
