Home - A free verse
Still awake.
Still alone.
Until you're here,
I won't be home.
So I'll just stare
At the sky
And think of you
As I cry.
I need you here,
I know that now.
But I must wait.
I don't know how.
My thoughts won't stray
From your eyes
As I whisper lonely
Lullabies.
I can't sleep yet,
Won't even try.
Did we really just
Kiss goodbye?
I imagine a letter
Strung with lace.
Then feel your tears,
And distant face.
I reach for you,
Then open my eyes.
You're not here.
My soul just dies.
Check my phone
For the sixty-first time.
Will you forgive me?
Is there still time?
Because of me,
I might lose you.
If I could go back,
I know I'd chose you.
I search for you,
But you're still lost.
Didn't know an email
Could have such a great cost.
Why was it you
That I had to hurt?
Why wasn't it me
Who had to be burnt?
I lay awake
Thinking of you
Praying you'll find joy
And a worthy love too.
4:30 A.M.
And I just cry.
I promise my love
Is not a lie.
No sleep will come,
I'm giving up.
My heart feels like
An empty cup.
The dawn is breaking,
But it's not alone.
My heart is with it.
I should have known.
I just want your joy
And happiness.
I'll do what you want
To bring you bliss
I miss you more
Than you'll ever know.
And if I lose you,
I'll never be home.
