Kate I wish I knew you were safely at home.

Dashboard Confessional

I didn't get to see you on Friday when you came back from Senior Trip just as I was leaving for the final day of Districts. I came into the band hallway and caught her eye and she came into the hallway and told me not to come into the auditorium because you were there in a black shirt and a messenger bag and a bad haircut. So I left with a hug and a wanting to see you.

Ive Gone Incognito means I'm not sqwished into the wall and that I don't have to share and that I can -sprawl- out bc every once in a great while I just need to be selfish and say "fuck off and sleep on the floor!" 020530

Erinicolejax I have to sleep alone. At least for a while. Till I know who it is I should sleep with forever. Then we can buy a big bed and sleep right in the middle. 020531

Syrope can be a blessing after you spend the night in a bed with someone who doesnt want you to touch them. if i'm in the bed with someone, i want to snuggle, no matter if i have that kind of feelings for them or not. but when its someone who doesnt know you that well or would be uncomfortable, you have to hover on the edge and be conscious of your movements... 020601

GirlNamedLover sleeping by yourself at night can make you feel alone

unhinged even when he's right here


you know people, i'm not looking for endless love or anything like that; i have a very hard time believeing that that shit exists. but i would like a hug every now and then. that would be nice. it never really fails. i'm always sleeping_alone.

failing to make sense of it i grind my teeth when i sleep. it's a stress thing, you can hear it all over the house, through closed doors, over the radio and TV, even.

when i slept with him, i didn't do it, not once.

now that i'm sleeping_alone again, i wonder if my family would consider bringing him here, if not for any other reason but to stop that infernal racket.

unhinged there's this boy that lives hundreds of miles away from me and when i am sleeping_alone late at night clutching my covers as i cry, i always imagine it to be him that i really am hugging. i wonder if he can feel it. 030202

pipedream i would like a snuggle, please.

Annie111 Sleeping on a twin mattress with you was always uncomfortable especially with one blanket and often I was turned against the wall with my tears.

Until I felt your warm breath beside my ear. All I wanted was your arm on the cradle of my waist. That's all it usually takes. And you were so good at it too.

Thoth He checked his watch, he watched the clock, the clock spun its relentless cycle of hours and he heard nothing from her.

In blank, dreamless sleep, the cool night air and soft sheets and pillows were no solace. The chirping of crickets in the night rang with a metallic echo in the emptier recesses of his mind.

The silence as the heaviest portion of sleep drifted over him seemed to carry with it the weight of finality.

Ursula K. Le Guin But why was Ike lying here thinking about old Maston? His train of thought trailed off into the incoherencies of advancing sleep. Just as he relaxed, a thrill of terror jolted through him stiffening every muscle for a moment--the old fear from far, far back, the fear of being helpless, mindless, the fear of sleep itself. Then that too was gone. Ike Rose was gone. A warm body sighed in the darkness inside the little bright object balanced elegantly in the orbit of the moon. 030426

niska might as well be, becasue he comes home before i wake up, though it's not his choice.

smurfus rex I bought a big body pillow after she and I split and I'd fall asleep holding it just like I held her.

Then I got over her, and the body pillow became a prop for when I'm on the Playstation.

endless desire i guess its better sleeping alone so very often. . .
bc then when i finally have the chance lie with you, it fills me to the brim of completeness
030516
...
fall of a sparrow It's not a good situation. What's worse is that there's no end in sight. sleeping alone is even less fun in a big bed like the one I had last year because there's just a lot more space to not be filled with her.
I have to say though. Smurfus rex makes a good point that seems like it should be taught as a parable.

who i am doesnt matter anymore Im so much more comfterble with my baby next to me, i get deeper sleep. even if he does snore. 030916
...
misstree again,
but i don't seem to mind
quite so much.
there's always someone to dream of,
and really,
i'd rather wait
for the proper morsel
to arrive
than have so sleep next to someone
that wouldn't be worth
relinquishing my precious need.

unhinged sleeping_together

i think right now my life is too hectic to be anything but sleeping_alone. i'm used to it again. it was so hard to get used to again. how would i get all this work done if we were sleeping_together ?

nomatter I cried. All the pillows and sheet and blankets were cramping my smile. I was crowded, but really too alone. 030920

ferret i cried, i was overjoyed. i was sad. i was so fucked up. but it was all okay. no ok but okay. the real kind. the kind that makes you go "what the FUCK?" in the morning. that kind. the kind that really sobers you up. the kind that makes you sit alone all quiet in class just WAITING for fucking lunch to start. 030921

Lemon_Soda Prefferable.

I can snooze with other people, but I'm generally uncomfortable sleeping next to them. I put sharing a bed higher on the scale of intimacy than sex.
031029
...
reue i don't necessarily think that its more intimate than sex, but its definatly a better feeling that sex. more pure, you don't have to second guess that there was any lust involved. for me anyways 031029

lady lunchbox the last three months, while you've been away....that's all i've done.

and i don't want to do it anymore.

pete Sleeping alone is depressing, though of my life I've done it for most of the time. I have an extra blanket which usually finds itself in my arms when I wake up in the morning.. comforting when I'm sleeping, though showing its hollowness when I wake up. To feel your warmth when I drift into this dream from the others, ah what a joy that would be! Yet I cannot see it happening anytime soon, though I have hope and believe it will happen.. atleast once. What a way to wake up! To see the sun and look into your eyes... 040318

Syrope i used to dread it
but now i can't imagine not sleeping alone

i know in my sleep the way i struggle and the things i murmur would give too much of me away

and so i only find comfort in quantity, not quality

tchiseen she faced the wall when she slept with the radio on i dont know what its like anymore to hear her climb into bed and say my name 040421
...
love & hate I never sleep alone,
i close my eyes and she is there,
the same as it used to be,
lieing there with my arms around her,
placing soft kisses on her face as she lies there like an angel.
She is always there,
sleeping beside me, making me feel not so alone, making me feel safe.
Making me feel she still loves me even though she doesnt.
What a dream, what a wonderful dream.
It will be reality, once i'm gone,
i will be lieing in her bed,
next to her, holding her tight as she cry's herself to sleep for no reason at all.
I will be there always, that i promise.
You will never have to sleep alone again.

Borealis at this point there is only one person who would hold me at night in spite of the thrashing, and muttering, and screams of some unknown pain.
anyone else would run. rightfully so.

I love you, but I cannot claim you...thank you for not leaving

unhinged ouch



maybe not even in the same bed, on the same couch, but at least in the same house. as we woke up this morning, the dog came barreling down the stairs to find me awake, ears perked, tail wagging. (what i left behind when i was too busy taking care of you)


he held me when i wept. i didn't feel ashamed, like i needed to hide it. i let the tears fall and he took his thumb and wiped them.




i am trying so hard not to dial the phone right now. (but less hard than yesterday)
