Night

It's been a few days
but its started again.
This feeling I can't explain.
creeping up on me
all through the night.

It leaves me breathless
and in tears.
No one knows why
I feel like this inside

Only happens at night
when your so far away
not here to comfort me
when I need you most

I guess I could call
maybe even write.
Tell you how I feel on this cold night
But I figure you like sleep
So I don't dare.

I sit wrapped in blankets
hand on the light.
Telling myself little lies
of how you don't care

It just won't last long
Just need to finish this poem
So I don't feel hollow
On this dark night.
