Fast Asleep



a 4+3 poem

You consume my every thought

Among the battles which we've fought.

During the time that I slept

My thoughts of you, quiet I kept.

In my mind and in my soul

My feelings pay a silent toll.

In my heart and in my dreams

Nothing is what it really seems.

I want to tell you what I feel

I want you to help me learn to heal.

But if I finally do confess

Would you like me any less?

My fear corrupts me and seals my pain

It beats me like a harsh cold rain.

How hard I try, I cannot escape

My heart's consumed by this endless rape.

You fill me heart, you cause my sorrow

But there is new light with the next tomorrow.

I suffer in silence, my feelings hid deep

But you are mine in dreams when I'm fast asleep.

This was like a flash idea thought. One of those ideas that you have to write down or you'll lose it forever, I know, I know…maybe it would have been better being lost forever... Bad, I know, but I actually like it. If you haven't figured it out, it's Quatre's point of view and he's thinking about his feelings for Trowa. I know, a very used pairing but it fit.
