Tonight I can’t sleep
Mind’s a mile a minute
The darkness is suffocating me

My bed’s a mess
Of broken dreams thoughts promises
A thickening void fills my ears

And I am tormented
By the never fading memory of you
Thoughts images sounds emotions
Flood my senses

I am no longer alone
Yet still in torment
My body screams stop
My heart my brain my soul
They scream go

Love torments me
Yelling not true,
Not true
Yet I fail to understand

You smile at me
I am paralyzed
In your gaze

Fear terror fills
My mouth my brain my being
And you are gone

laying in my bed
a pillow
supporting
my aching mind
until a tiny
ray of sunlight
pierces through
the slim crack
in that illumination
minute dust motes
twirl, whirl, float
breathlessly
weightlessly
and in that moment
I am given
hope needed
to begin again

— The End —
