I woke this morning dreaming <br />threads of slumber in my head <br />I rolled over for some reason <br />the stirring cleared my head <br />As I lay there fighting <br />the night off from the day <br />I realized I had rolled to you <br />but you have gone away <br />As the realization dawned <br />I tried to keep it real <br />but as the world came waking <br />I still wanted to slumber on <br />There was nothing to hold onto <br />nor nothing laying warm <br />beside me or near me <br />I cant see it anymore <br />I know how much I miss you <br />But you have the choice <br />to end a love that lasted <br />I have never had a voice <br />I am now awake <br />these hard words fill my head <br />I will listen to the birds outside <br />and try to remember, <br />I am alone.... <br />I am not dead<br /><br />Karin Elizabeth Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-296/
