Pillows On the Floor

Pillows and covers all over the floor,
No ones in my bed any more,
Used to cuddle snug as a bug,
Now the pillow is all I hug,
It's hard to sleep at night,
There's no one to hold tight,
The warmth of their body is now gone,
How am I to move on,
The dreams are still there,
Just no one with which to share,
They have said, I"ll die in my sleep,
Now I just lay there and weep,
My breathing is nice and slow,
But asleep I can't seem to go,
I feel around like I am blind,
But there still is no one to find,
I want to just slip away,
And forget about the whole day,
From under the covers I peep,
Sure wish I could get some sleep!
