Cold Winters Morn

As I lay here on a cold winters night ,
Reached behind me,you were not there .
For some reason you were out of site ,
I looked and your pillow was bare .
On that cold winters night I could not sleep,
Kept reaching,trying to feel you near .
Out of my mind you could not seep ,
Through out the night you did not appear .
The sad feeling of being all alone ,
Oh,what a night it became to be .
Reason for the absence was unknown ,
For a cold winters night absentee .
On this cold winters morn did I awake to see ,
Was it my heart that you did not adorn .
Or a dream inside of my head to be ,
On this cold winters morn .

I truly wish I’d seen this years ago. Things could have been different. Beautifully written.
