There are violets blooming under my eyes,

Nourished by sleepless nights without

you.

I lay awake in the break night,
hoping you will return,
ushering me to sleep.

You do not come back once,
yet I still wait with my light on.

I allow the violets to continue to grow  on the flower bed of my skin.

It is my reminder of

You.
