Sleepless Nights

Awaken by the sounds of soft whimpers
Setting up to check on what's going on
to find a pillow full of unwanted tears a heart of brokenness.
Say it's not so
I can still hear your voice as it begins to softly fade away
Wait please don't go don't leave me
I promise to come by more to call more
The more I hear it gets better with time
the more I search for that time to come because
How am I suppose to go on
 knowing that I'll never be embraced by your arms,
 blessed with your smile and wisdom.
