I don't want to wake up alone

absence makes the heart long

Another sleepless night 
in our room
with the lights
turned off
so I can’t see
what’s missing,

but I can still feel
the empty space
where you
used to lay
and wrap
your arms around me.

You held me as I 
fell asleep in your arms
every night

then I would wake
to your beautiful face
every morning

and I took it all for granted.

Now I can’t sleep
because I don’t want
to wake up alone.

This poem you made is my favorite. Primarily because it describes what I myself am going through right now.
I love it for someone finally found the words to these feelings, but I also hate it because it strikes a cord within that hollow part.
Now I need to escape your sorrowful yet beautiful poem.

Ive felt this before, i personally think waking up alone, with no even in the house is just horrid. Good work :3

I like the isolation of "I took it all for granted" very sad and pretty.

Poignant write for lost love.

It's simple, clean, and heartfelt. The flow works well and you have a real sense of emotion going on here. I love it.
