Dreams of Restive Sleep

When the lights are down

And the night’s upon us

The heartache starts

To beat monotonous


Throbbing and throbbing

In my ears so loudly

As I can barely hope

To sleep so soundly


I reach over to clutch

An invisible lover

Finding nothing, no one

I dig deep under covers


Then bury my face

Into an unfeeling pillow

Devouring the soft

The heart ache stills, slows


Restless I warp

And contort my figure

To find a comfort

That’s harder to secure


Only to awaken

In the middle of the night

The heartache still beating

My love still out of sight
