Tuck Me In.

we are on the
phone talking.
about our days.
Our lives.
I pause.
What is wrong?
you ask.
I miss you.
I say.
I know I am
not supposed to,
but I do.
I miss you.
Baby, you
say,
I miss you.
we laugh and
keep on talking.
Life is funny.
If I was with you
right now, you
say....what
is the one thing
you would like
me to do?
Honestly?
I reply.
Yes,
you say.
I pause and
I say it.
I would love
for you to tuck
me in.
I wait,
I know it sounds
creepy.
Then I will
princess.
I will tuck in
your toes,
tuck in
you arms
and I
will kiss
your forehead
and make
sure
that all
your dreams
will be
sweet and
honest,
you say.
I laugh....
Why are you not
here, with me?
I ask.
Because my princess,
you are not mine.
Your soul belongs
to someone else
I am just the man
who is
supposed to take
care of you,
watch out
for you
and
tuck
you
in.
