Yearning for Sleep

Oh, how leaving you

Puts strain on my heart,

Pulling all its strings,

Tearing me apart.


I reach out my hand

But to grasp thin air,

instead of your warmth,

instead of your care.


My body - dead weight,

My head - drooping down,

I sigh and I wait

With a growing frown.


Thank God time flies by!

And, without a doubt,

You see me fly

Through the fastest route.


Skipping steps, I flee!

To feel your embrace,

With the sun behind me,

Invading your space,

Sinking in covers,

fast falling asleep,

I've only one lover -

My bed made of fleece.
