I awaken alone; you’re not by my side <br />Every morning this is what I awaken to find <br />Only an endless dream, a figment of lust <br />I reach out to touch you, you slip away like dust <br />Midnight envelops me as I fall into sleep <br />Running through the rain of my nightmare’s scream <br />I see you up ahead of me, and finally we touch <br />I kiss you with passion, my heart you clutch <br />We settle into restless peace our time is running out <br />I know we can escape from here, I just don’t know how <br />Once again I awaken, alone and afraid <br />Clinging to twisted bed sheets and whispering your name<br /><br />Emily Myers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twisted-bed-sheets/
