More Lisa Hannigan...

...to fit the morning here...


I have lost you to sleep again
Sleeping as we do
On opposite sides of a venn diagram
I read the time
In shadows on your wall
The shards of light
Through the slats on your window

I ease myself from under your languid arm
I fumble on my boots
And hear you breathe through your alarm
And I disarm it for you
You rarely heed it anyway
I wouldn't want it to intrude upon your dream
School bell ring messing up the play...

'Venn Diagram,' Lisa Hannigan
