Just let me Lay here

By wanderingpoet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Just let me lay here Lay my head upon the floor No pillows, nor rug Just the concrete and me Just let me lay here Broken and alone While fleeting thoughts lay Tattered and Torn around me Just let me stay for a while Let me curl up into a ball and sleep Tears will come later I just want to lay and stare Just let me forget for a time Allow me just this once Put our pains aside And just let me lay Let me curl up my blanket Naked and alone Pretending its soft surface Was simply you… Just let me imagine my head Nestled up within your lap Just let me imagine your hand Gently stroking my groomed hair Just let me stay for awhile Lie to me and tell me I’m all Tell me your love beats back others Allow me to believe for a few minutes Just let me lay here Lay my head upon the floor No pillows, nor rug Just the concrete and me Written April 9th, 2002 © on Apr 09 2002 06:18 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
