sleeping together

If I've disturbed your sleep, if I woke you,
if pleasant dreams stood stiff and broke you,
if nightmares came underneath the sheets of rain
of rapid eye movement for love of ours slain
if it was my fault, then it was yours too
this wind that took the dove as it flew
to assure that it would not once return
leaving only one lesson to learn

that love has short and narrow sight
and doesn't last forever
you only toss and turn in the night
when you're sleeping together.
