Their Picture

The house was cold and dark

she lay alone

in her bed

thoughts jumbled together

in her mind

a picture on the nightstand

quiets the ache

that always seems to find her

in the dark

and when she dreams

she dreams of arms wrapped tightly around her

she dreams of contentment

of no longer needing the picture on her nightstand

she dreams of something tangible and real
