WHEN I WAKE
When I Wake
Sitting here in the corner
of my room with my knees pulled up tight.
I find myself needing to
sleep but I'm afraid to close my eyes,
For reality will return.
The candle across the room
enchants me as it dances to the soft breeze.
Your touch is so present,
the words you spoke echo in my mind.
As a tear slips down my
cheek I begin to let go.
Afraid to lay my head down
on the pillow,
Not wanting to close my
eyes...
For if I wake and find you
gone, I swear my heart will shatter.
So I just close my
eyes, only to rest...
As my friend you helped me
grow.
You loved me fondly, your
kiss of affection still warm on my lips.
Another tear slips down
my cheek...
Again my selfish heart realizes
it is time to let you go.
So with all that I have,
I walk to the bed,
Lay my heavy heart on the
pillow...
Close my eyes as I let you
go.
