I Miss You

A poem I wrote about my father.

If I could sleep right now

I would sleep on end

the sadness it brings me from me not seeing him.

I sleep to not see, the world that's around me.

I can't think straight 

my heart begins to palpitate

to the fear that i am wasting time.

I remember those days when he was still here

it seems like yesterday 

but it happened two years.

My head made it hard to see

what a good man was in front of me.

I quaver from seeing the light outside

to think that it's such a good day 

without him by my side.

It's hard to live when someone leaves.

But I have to keep on going to 

see what life has for 

me.

"I sleep to not see, the world that's around me.
I can't think straight
my heart begins to palpitate."
What an outstanding analogy. I loved yr poem it's full of agony.
