go to sleep

are you awake,
you ask,
touching
her shoulder.
did you hear
something.
no she says.
i was sleeping.
and you roll
back over
to where
the red numbers
on the clock
glow three.
and then someone
comes over
out of the darkness
and sits on
the edge of
the bed, puts
her hand on your
arm and says
i'm fine.
go to sleep.
