Another Sleepless Night

Another Sleepless Night

Distance separates two hearts

that used to beat as one..
Time spins forever forward
with each rising of the sun..

His hands are in another land
a place I will never see..
He's so far across the ocean
yet his hearts still here with me..

I close my eyes and picture him
I miss his face so much..
I need to taste his mouth on mine
yearn to feel his gentle touch..

His scent lingers on his pillow
It's held tight within my arm..
God speed his love back to me
and keep him from all harm..

Without him here beside me
nothing in my world seems right..
I'll close my eyes and dream him here
Another sleepless night....

Painful Night

Painful Nights

Each night intense burning heat
Like a molten iron brand
Shooting through every nerve
Making it impossible to stand

Stabbing like hot pokers
Delirious thoughts, blinding pain
Nothing left untouched by this
Finding it's way to my brain

Trying so hard to find comfort
So I pop another pill
They don't seem to work anymore
Just a part of being ill

Letting my mind wander
To a peaceful serene place
Far away from where I am
A place of beauty and grace

Close my eyes waiting for relief
Will tonight be my last
Can I finally find happiness
Living in memories of my past

Will the pain overtake me
Shocking me back to what's real
Or let me peacefully slumber
Praying for one night not to feel
