Restless

by Chris   Dec 27, 2008


I'm always missing you every day and night
Even when I talk to you I long for your touch
But at night is when it's at it's worse
And I become even more restless and awake

In my sleep I'm more awake than ever
Tossing and turning in lonely bed
Wanting to feel your head on my chest
Wanting to bury my face in your hair

I know I say I sleep at night
And by definition I do sleep at night
But my mind works more then than ever
Trying to create your touch and your warmth

Every night it's the same thing for me
I see the same picture over and over
And even in the picture I don't really sleep
I'm as awake as ever afraid to close my eyes

You lay on my arm next to me facing me
If you opened your eyes you'd see into me
I drape my other arm over you like a hug
But I take care to let you sleep and dream

I'm afraid to close my eyes even to blink
I'm afraid if I do it'll be all a dream
And that I'll never feel your warmth again
And that's a fate worse than death to me

And then the alarm goes off in the morning
And I sit in my bed wanting to get a message
But even more than the message you send
I want to be hold you close and feel your warmth

    'boywithnodreams' is afraid it will be a dream? Haha.

    Nah, I'm not making fun of it. You did a REALLY good job writing this poem. The only thing I'd have to say you should change is in the like first or second stanze 'it's at it's worse' = it is at it's worse.
