I Awake Alone

I awake....alone at times like this it seems... I'm forever alone the bed is empty no human form I'm alone Well, that's not completely true I have a bedfellow He keeps me awake chases my dreams away..... Mr Insomnia is attention mad it's all about him and that makes him glad He wants his loving... and the hours pass they pass Dawn chases him away Gives me another lover Slumber comes to bed me sinks in and has his way... a gentle sway rocks me deep rocks me slow takes me places he wants to go Tired... he tires of me leaves in a hurry no afterglow or dreamy flow Rude awakening I'm alone again alone.... Alone to think alone to know that it is so: another trip another.... "It's work, Babe. What can I do? A strong woman, make this work for you." another tear another sigh another time for another cry Alone... Insomnia comes and goes Slumber comes and goes the days pass in haunting haze adding to my inner craze alone Underlying theme? Devise a scheme Make real the dream: a peaceful forever alone... Eileen
