Rest
I have tried to rest easy for hours.
Heavy eyes can't find sleep without you.
I toss endless in sheets that once wrapped us
and my wish for you near, won't come true.
You're too far, to wrap arms tight around me
and my dreams wait impatient inside.
This long night seems much darker without you
and my need for your touch won't subside.
I lie wrestless as morning approches,
hoping night will slip quickly away.
Pray for sleep as the quiet surrounds me,
clutching pillows where you do not lay.
I lay longing to hear your soft breathing,
as you did when you slept in my bed.
The night cruel and unkind,
search for you, just to find,
that I'm still lying lonely instead.
