As the night wears on,
Sleep seems to be so long gone.
Thoughts capture my mind,
Totally one of a kind.
Longing to have someone,
Wanting to be loved
A gentle touch,
A special look that means so much.
The cold night air brings calmness to my soul,
That I will be able to get through it all.
Loneliness may tear me apart,
Hope is still in my heart.
Though the feeling of loneliness won.
When finally sleep sits in,
I realize I am alone.
Only a blanket to keep me warm,
Just a pillow I have on my arm…
