Restless Days

There are sleepless nights
and restless days.
Many of which
have your face
shadowing my mind.
Your words
filling my heart.

The shutters of my soul
rest in the very knowledge
that you loved me once
and love me still.
Eyes open
I lay here
wondering
waiting
hoping
that time
will move swift.
Not because of you,
but because of me.
I don't want to disappoint.
oh how I hope
above all
not to let you down.
Let me down.
For those who
believe
go all the way.
So I lay here
in the shadows
of my sleepless nights
and restless days.
I lay here
and wait
while the hands of time
tick away.
Sleep.
