At Night

(READ SLOW) Eyes wide open (laying like broccoli you would say) Crisp Icy nights Cold Even in the summer months; Cold – (very cold) Deep breaths in an empty room; In – and out (slowly) Like smoke escaping a chimney; Cool breath hits the atmosphere ……………………….. Darkness (Stillness) A motionless and silent night ………………………. (hours pass) Thinking Of you mainly Memories; A slideshow strewn with happy Bittersweet though it is ……………………….. Thinking (only of you now) A strange – joyful sort of pain Then… that feeling (it crept up from nowhere) All joy departed And now… agony Nothing but agony Deep – Down to the bones Fighting tears Fail Pouring out emotion ………………………… Empty Numb – and… relieved Feeling… Tired Eyes closed (Sleep) and dream of you
