• Laying in bed at night,
    she tries to sleep the pain away.
    No matter how hard she tries,
    something creeps its way into her mind.

    Whether it be
    a death of a family member,
    or friends leaving her life;
    She feels the pain
    all the same.

    A tear rolls down her cheek,
    and then another.
    With her face in her hands,
    she shakes uncontrollably
    thinking of what could only be.

    The morning's calm,
    sky sunny and blue.
    With mascara stained streams
    running down her pink cheeks,
    she emerges from the covers.

    He stands near her bed,
    a smile on his face.
    He moves closer,
    kissing her forehead,
    putting an arm around her shoulders.

    Resting her head on his shoulder,
    she knew everything would be okay.
    A sigh escapes her lips,
    and she just sits in the quiet.
