Sleepless

Its another sleepless night without her.

Not because she broke my heart,

Nor that I won’t see her again,

Simply that she is out of my reach.

I can’t feel her body rise and fall with each breath,

I can’t reach out to make sure of her mid-night,

I can’t watch over her to ensure she sleeps peacefully,

Even as I sleep she is my purpose.

I wish I could dream of her to pass the night,

But even the perfection of a dreamworld,

Fails to compare to her grandeur.

Tonight I will endure the restlessness,

My soul will survive its missing piece,

I shall make peace with another sleepless night,

For when she returns, I am complete

And only then will I rest peacefully
