Still Night

By drhook

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As I lay there, sleeping soundly I felt a sudden chill, I rolled over to hold you close But, as before, you were gone. The night is still. I turned back over, closing my eyes Only to hope I would awaken from my dream, But things weren't any different For again, I awake crying. Again, I am empty. Every night I dream this dream And every night it ends the same. Tonight will be the last time. Tonight will be the last time I turn to hold you And find you gone Tonight,I will be strong I felt a sudden chill, The night was still.
