Without You next to me
It is near impossible
To fall asleep
i lay here for hours
Tears running down my cheeks
Waiting for sleep to come
Pretending You are here
Trying to trick my body
Into believing it is true
Thinking of Your touch
The feel of Your kisses
The weight of Your arm across me
With You next to me
Mere minutes is all it takes
To fall asleep
i lay here in Your arms
Feeling safe and warm
Peacefully falling asleep
I have experienced this many times but have never seen a poem specifically about it. Bravo!
