I lost

My hope that you would come back.

After the usual five days

And as day six comes around and soon ends.

I know that I must have lost my mind to deal with this.

It feels like a dream that goes on and on and then when I wake up.

I can’t go to back sleep because the dream seemed so real.

I felt every touch and heard every sound and feel of it all disappearing left me slightly empty.

As I close my eyes I try to go back

For I know in that dream my body finally got the sleep it needed.

And now awake all I can do is think of you and that just isn’t okay with me anymore.
