I can't sleep so I get up and write ...
I toss and I turn and
just can't get comfortable ...
I think of you ... I wonder why?
 
I can't sleep because
we are apart;
a part of eachother is missing.
You are hurting and so am I ...
 
I can't sleep because
when I toss and turn
you are not beside me.
I can't reach out to you ...
 
I can't sleep because
when you are hurting
I can't hold you in my arms
and kiss away your pain...
 
I can't sleep because
our seperateness
leads to disquietness...and
our healing is short circuited...
 
I can't sleep because
my mind races and
my heart is saddened
from your lack of touch...
 
I can't sleep because
I cannot hear your soft sighs.
I can't sleep because
I cannot hear your moans...
 
I can't sleep because
I am cold and can't be still ...
I can't sleep because you
always keep me warm and calm.
 
I can't sleep because
our love is a consuming  passion!
I get up to write and
I think of you ... I wonder why?!
