Sleep envelopes me like a soft cocoon, and I embrace, Trying to chase away memories that I cannot erase. My mind is freed from all heartache and pain Of the love of my life, and the grief that has rained. I pray for sleep to seduce me, and to fall deep. Then I can forget about my soul that still weeps. Those few hours are like a Band-Aid on my heart. It is painless oblivion… a chance for the sadness to depart. How long does it take for a heart to repair? I am tired of heartache...I have had my fair share. Sweet sleep, welcome me into the dark night. Take away my sorrow until first light. 10/16/16 Words Drowned in Tears Poetry Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings Awarded 4th Place 10/16/16 Contest-Words Drowning in Tears

The heartache will last as long as you want it to, Brenda. The past is behind, the future is ahead! In other words, what's done is done, move on.

The contest called for words drowning in tears-deep, dark, sad, and emotional. So I gave it to them. I know I have to move on. Eventually I will meet someone to love again. I don't intend in wallowing in my sorrow forever. I will keep my possibilities for romance open.
