Falling flowers

I found myself crying
it was unexpected
all of a sudden I was lost

I knew that I had reached
exhaustion..that would put me
at risk ....To much, i decided not to speak.
I knew how bad it was when he brought
out a blanket and pulled the chaise next
to the fire, in complete daylight..
he said that I needed to sleep and tucked
the pillow behind my head, I tried fighting it
but he continued wrapping
me . I could feel the sun and
the fire the warmth reminded
me of what was possible.
Then he leaned and said "sleep"

and I slept in the afternoon, yes
the afternoon.
