The Beauty of Being Asleep
Write a poem which could have this as its title.
The Beauty of Being Asleep
Touching you as though you are still
Here, with me.
Each night, never enough.
Blaming you for leaving me, our nightly meetings
Effortlessly alleviating the
Anger I feel when awake and missing
U
Tonight I will close my eyes and the
Yearning for your closeness will be satisfied
Our timeline
Forever broken by your death
Becomes my
Existence.
I spent my days in bed,
Not being able to get up or work.
Going insane and eventually homeless. Cold.
Alone. The need to
See you again, and hold you in my arms. Until
Longing created addiction and
Emptiness. I lost my home, my job, and well,
Everything. The day I lost you I lost my
Purpose. But I still have the beauty of being asleep.
