as I sleep

By taviasmommie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I was awakened to the phone, Only for it to be a dream. You are not here and that is what I need. My heart just won't settle and my mind is not at ease, because the more I go over what happened the fault lies with me. I never say that I am right every time that we fight. I just feel that we aren't moving and I am ready to take flight I want to move to the next level. so I lay here alone, waiting and wanting you to be on the other end of the phone. No matter how hard I try I can't begin to understand, why everytime I close my eyes, I feel the touch of your hand. I really do feel you although I know you are not here May be I want it so bad that I picture you near. What has gone wrong, why are things so cold, I only long to hear your voice when I pick up the phone. And as bad as it seems I know you feel the same way we are both playing hard and with no words to say. I glance at the clock I need to be asleep, but not having said goodnight, sleeping is not for me. I close my eyes and I think of the future I hope it is with you and I long to close my eyes, and think of me and you. Written January 29th, 2002 © on Jan 29 2002 04:20 AM PST   0 • 8
