I Cry

Sometimes,
   I cry for no reason,
   it comes from missing you
   and the emptiness brought on in living
   here, now, alone without you.
Not a word
   can express how life has changed
   and how I cry despite my efforts,
   I cannot fill that spot
   where I held you hostage in my heart.
In my dreams
   I wait for you to come,
   to reappear even if only momentarily
   to remind and tell me
   our love still lives.
The nights are dark
   and the dreams are empty
   filled by everything but you,
   let me have just a dream or two
   to make me feel again without crying.
