Waking up

Darkness looms throughout the room
I toss and turn in bed
My nerves won’t quiet my mind won’t stop
Playing vignettes through my head

I can watch the minute hand crawl across the face
Of the clock on my bed stand
But I know soon the sun will rise
It may be upon something grand

You can really only miss someone
For so long a period of time
Then you seem to let it die
And other things occupy your mind

The sun that comes this morning
Illuminates a whole new day
And thinking back on what I lost
I switch from prey to pray

No bitterness is in my heart
I have done the best I can
It is not for me decisions like that
To every understand

    It takes time.. time is a healer. I liked the hopeful-ness in this write. I know sleepless nights myself sometimes.

    You will get through whatever you are going through right now, I know you will. You done a wonderful job on expressing your true thoughts and feelings. Love is a very hard thing to explain, just as loss is. Just keep your head high and keep writing.

    Scott, we do not need to understand how the tapestry in life is spun the way it is....
    for it is a blanket woven of love and loss day after day
    love is always worth the cost
    always
    hang tight bro, you will come through this in time I promise
