Best Poems Written by Lauren Paytes

Sleepless Nights

I lay down beside you on this cold night
There is nothing in sight
Gaze into each others eyes
Letting all lies slip by 
Silence waits fatally throughout the room
Rain trickles down the windows playing a gracious tune
Empty space surrounding us 
Wondering what lies ahead if we must
Watching the world pass by
Listening to our sighs
   Secrets concealed in these walls
Deserted in the halls
Lights flickering on and off
Our hands together feel so soft
Timeless voices 
Our breathing is the only noise
Let us fall asleep
Our minds now fill with dreams
