A Separation…

While you were sleeping,

I shushed,

And tossed around,

My eyes wide awake,

Stared darkness,

With me were the echoes,

Of your heavy breath,

You snored,

At the noises I made,

I sat, stood and laid again,

Gazing through the hole of the ring,

I recollected,

Times when we were awake,

We talked,

Laughed incessantly,

Tonight was not the same,

Loud silence,

And a deep chasm,

Nothing we could say,

Counting sleepless nights,

I remained awake,

I sighed,

Watching the glimmering sun,

I rose,

And cluttered my bag,

Leaving the things we shared,

I wiped tears,

At the door, I stand,

Paused, don’t know why,

And drifted morosely,

In your solemn sleep.
