"While You Were Sleeping"

Chapter 2

I'm watching you while you are sleeping.

I wake up in the night, from yet another nightmare.
But this time it's different, this time it's you.
Pinned to the ceiling, a slash in your stomach.
Blood dripping on my forehead.
And you saying the words...

I LOVE YOU SAM!

Then your catching fire.

So I wake up in a cold sweat.
I turn to see you sleep in the other bed,
You're alive.
But I can't shake the feeling of watching you die.

So I sit on the edge of my bed.
And just stare at you.
Watching you sleep.
Watching you breathing.
Watching how the moonlight catches your skin and makes it glow.
How I long to touch your treasure trail as it disappears into your boxers.
To follow it.
Down and down.

But that's something I cannot do.
You are my brother.
It is forbidden.
Like the apple in the Garden of Eden.

So I sit here in the middle of the night.
Watching you while you are sleeping.
