Couldn’t sleep much so I just laid there

Staring into my room’s darkness

Congested, I could only breathe

Through my mouth.

Slowly inhaling and exhaling,

I do my best to drift off to sleep

But I can’t.

My mind is running with

Constant thoughts of you.

With only cold sheets and a blanket

For comfort, imagining you beside me

Was the only thing keeping me warm.

But eventually the bedding reclaimed me

As I tossed and turned trying to

Find the right position to sleep,

I was unable to find one.

As time passed on, daylight

Slowly crept its way into my room

With my mind still active

I sought the comfort of my recliner and

Try to relax myself more and hopefully

Get a few hours of sleep in,

After being on my computer didn’t work,

I started writing this piece and

After a bottom filled wastebasket of

Puffs tissues, it’s working.

My eyelids are heavy

My mind is still on him

I’m still congested as I can hear

My neighbor’s doors open and close.

But I’m finally beginning to nod.

I guess I’ll get a couple of hours in now.

So it’s back off to bed I go

Before I drop my phone on the floor,

With only cold sheets and a blanket

For comfort, imagining you beside me

Is the only thing I have to keep me warm.

Can’t wait to feel your presence again.

It’s now 7:57AM.

mrmelody7, I didn't realize I hadn't finished my reply to your comment. I and one of my sisters have been looking after our great aunt who's 92. She's like an open book. Stories every day I go over there.
