3 am Thoughts (Her) 

By Lauren Wilmshurst

Her 3 am thoughts are filled with depression and desire
She twists in a downward spiral 
then floats on dreams of lustful adventure

Once a year she tells him all about it
Once a year he indulges her imagination
It’s good for her not to be closed off
and for him to see her potential

She’ll take those 3 am thoughts 
and tuck them back to bed 
letting them slumber hidden, out of sight 
for another year
