Covers

***Writing Tip: Make note of what you think about just before bed.  In the morning write down what you feel and what life would be like without that feeling. ***

My eyelids are heavy
the covers are his arms
I burrow down farther, lost in his love
sending shivers up my spine
we talked for hours
late into morning
my body is tired
my heart is alive
I smile.

But he is gone
while I sit alone with my heart and dreams
I don't want to go
face the absence of his smile
see his back in the lonely crowd
hear his voice in the whisper of the wind
he is gone
so I snuggle farther into the depths of the covers
hiding a frown.
