untitled - restless

Wide awake and alone
darkness the night not my friend
sleep I know I need
my mind racing with thoughts
missing you more each day
When I do sleep
restless fits waken me
reaching out across the bed
feeling a hollow there
where you aren't
not here not next to me
not yet - soon
not soon enough

And yet I sleep long
unending periods
willing time to move faster
bring me closer to that time
and knowing that all
the sleep in the world
isn't the rest
my mind craves
a break from reality
to have it be the end
that is the beginning
for me for us
time would need to fly
alas but things chores
needing done before
the day i break away
from this hell
escape the chains
holding me down
holding me back
holding me away
from happiness

Again I go to bed alone
I say goodnight
saying prayers
begging that you can
join me in my dreams
even if you can't
be in my arms
be in my bed
maybe you can
be in my head
tonight.
