Here



I look up at the stars
And think of you tonight;
Wishing I could see their light
Reflected in your eyes.
How I long to touch you,
Hold your body close.

Darkness is upon me and you’re not here,
sleep tries to call me but you’re here,
an undefinable emptiness beside me, because you’re not here.

With my insides turbulent, I do the only thing I can to bring end to my longing.

Closing my eyes, a flicker in my my mind. My vision altered by the brilliancy of your temper.

You’re beside me, before me and all around me.

I will remain forever asleep until death claims me.
