i am
still
oh so still
tonight

not even
a hand clap
nor
a cool finger snap
will wake me

"let me rest
please
let me rest"
i repeat
in a moment
of bliss and
forgetfulness

my body aches
my eyes drop
my voice dries out

but
soon enough
i recall
the thing that makes me go

a smile
mine or yours
it doesn't really matter

i go
and go
and go and go
and go and go and go

for a smile
