Longing

By darkangel

I can not sleep,
for you are not beside me,
I toss and turn,
bury my head in my covers,
wishing I could bury my head in your chest instead,
my silent tears dissolve into the darkness
that surrounds me,
as I lay there
imagining your arms holding me,
holding me tight whilst I watch you slumber,
you look so beautiful, peaceful and it's comforting,
I feel safe.

but in reality,
I lay here cold and longing,
for you, my love,
I can not sleep.

    No, it doesn't sound lame at all. I totally understand. I cry myself to sleep every night, waiting & wanting.

I remember going through that and at the end of my little day dream when I realised it was just that, I remember crying my heart out. Must sound pretty lame, huh? Anyway, I loved it! Please keep writing!
