Essence of You

By Miss Elegance

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As I lay in my darkened room Sleep eludes me. The image of you appears at my side, With it comes haunting images of lost dreams. Visions of rainbows and sunshine, Visions of sunsets and shoreline. Dreams and visions we once shared. The essence of you and passion. Happiness, kisses and dreams long gone. As the image of you and the dreams fade, A vast emptiness appears. An emptiness that has come to take your place. It has become my safe place. It dulls the pain and sorrow. Prevents the hope of a bright tomorrow. I watch your image move on, Leaving me behind. I pray for you here in my darkened room. I pray you find happiness and peace. I pray you find sunshine and rainbows. I pray you find love everlasting That all your dreams come true.
