As I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Contributed by pixie on Tuesday, 23rd November 2004 @ 11:05:31 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



As I lay me down to sleep,
You’re not here so I weep,
If I should cry again when I awake,
I am sorry but my little heart did break.

There was a space where you normally lay,
I will have to wake up alone in the light of day,
I wish you were next to me holding me tight,
I know I won’t sleep well tonight.

If I shut my eyes tight & wish upon a star,
Can I make you appear from afar?
Sadly no but it was well worth the try,
But still I lay here, needing a good cry.

Your face is etched across my eyelids,
I dream of you as into sleep I slid,
Couldn’t wait to wake up & get to you,
Stop my heart from feeling so blue.

As I saw you today I felt my heart beat,
Now with you I felt again complete,
I hate the nights that you’re not around,
When I’m lost you’re the one who makes me feel found.

Please my love never again leave my side,
Because inside my heart I can feel the tide,
Lying next to you is my little piece of paradise,
When I think of you I count my blessing twice.

sleeping by yourself, or sleeping alone. Its being with the one you love that counts!

I remember these feelings when my hubby was at uni away for weeks at a time. It was horrid.

Excellent poem may Mark not spend any more nights away from your side

Love Sweetangelukxxxx
