Slipping

Slipping in and out of sleep
I dream of you and wake to him
All night long my heart tears
Between the real and the hope
That someday the skin
Pressed to me will be yours
That the arms at his side
Will be yours holding me
And I long to hear his words
Spoken in your voice
I am filling the void you left
With someone you aren't
And praying for the sleep
Which makes you real again
