Because of you

This night I lay awake
Watching the hands on my clock
Numbering minutes no one will mark
Just useless insight this time of night
To remember promises made in unbroken dark
Whispered by you...

Recalling all the things you said
Through drifting clouds of thought
That run like a freight train in my head
Through my door you come and go
Just wish you would stay...

I reach for you and you're not there
Brings nightmarish thoughts I must confess
I say your name out loud in complete despair
Because peace of mind I no longer possess
Because of you...

spatacus this gives me the feelings i still have after my husband's dealth 4 yrs ago. I expect him to walk through the door or roll over and have him there beside me. I get this longing that you have. They say the feelings weaken in time. This is wrong you just learn to deal with the loss. Very good write. Thank you for letting us into your life if only for a brief moment.sad flower angel bouquet
