Night

When I'm laying there

alone

in the dark

in the cold

I wish the blanket wrapped around me

so tight

was your safe arms.

I wish the heat it gives off

was your's.

I wish the flimsy pillow

beneath my head

was your strong,

firm shoulder

supporting me.

I wish the journal

beside me

that I fill

with my hopes,

my dreams,

my thoughts,

my insecurities

was your mind,

just as free to fill.

I wish the soft crinkle

of the sheets

was your quiet whisper.

I wish you were there,

so my imagination could rest.

You know how to put my feelings in your words, lol. What I mean is, I get how you feel, I feel the same. This was a great poem.

This is really sweet and perfectly captures the longing we have for people that we can't have. ;-; I can completely relate to the inability to let your imagination rest, because you can't stop picturing that person next to you! Great job, this is beautiful. (:
