Fingertips brush away stray hairs, arms are secure around her shoulders
He watches her, like her own dearest angel
While he sleeps on the other side of the world, his sleeping seconds belong to her
He wants her to claim him, sending living hints in his waking words
She puts to clues together but doubts their reality
Frustrated sighs in the sun and under the clouds
Their separate reasons are close to the same revelation
They are each other, connected by unseen fibers stretching
Threatening to snap them together
He draws the curve of her smile in his mind, the shine in her eyes
She tries to taste him around her, not quite failing nor quite succeeding
Clueless wandering, orbiting around her
Hysteria rising in his throat, he screams against her skin
Cries into her neck, she only feels the memory of whispers
Locking his eyes on her face, he steps back to reality
Dreaming of when she’ll join him there
Meh...it is short.

EDIT:

Wow. I mean...wow. Thanks to all the faves!!

I've been getting a lot of "what is this poem about?" so here is the scoop:

Ever had that feeling like someone is watching you? I've been feeling that lately and wrote this off the guy's perspective...He is alive but a world across from her. He dreams about her and his mind constantly drifts to her. She knows someone is watching out for her but doesn't know who and it is driving them both a little mad.
