Night Thoughts

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I woke up tonight and did not have you beside me. I don't always awaken like this... Why is tonight different? All the conflicts in my mind that I'm able to cast aside when you're here keep creeping into my thoughts. Alone... I hate being along now, whereas at one time, I viewed it as a pleasure ~ even an accomplishment. There's a haunting memory of being so alone. Being WITH someone and alone ~ that was the worst or hardest! And yet, a small fragment of me does not feel alone. Somehow, there is a sense of togetherness I share with you ~ even when you're not here. mOctober '86 Written October 19th, 2001 © on Oct 19 2001 03:44 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
