Sleepless Nights

by Cindy   Feb 9, 2007


So many sleepless nights
Awake, tossing and turning
You're always in my mind
For love I am yearning

Thoughts of our loving
Sleep does not come
These dreams to vivid
Images I run from

Dreams I can't relive
Fighting to stay awake
Loving you in my sleep
Something I can't take

When I'm drifting off
Awakened by my screams
Remembering you're not here
Nothing, just a dream

Crying into my pillow
Looking for some relief
From these sleepless nights
And this endless grief

Written for a contest

    This was so very sad..yet beautifully written as always.
    The first stanza was such a perfect opening, the last stanza such a perfect ending.
    Wonderful work.
