The sun awakes
And shines over the landscape
I am still fast asleep
But you're already
As busy as a bee
Each day
I awaken
With hopes for a better one
Because so far
There's been none
***
As the sun travels throughout the sky
And brightens the land
I wish you
Were holding my hand
Each day
Seems to get lonelier
***
The sun reaches its peak at about noon
You're already home from school
And I long to be too
Each day
It's harder to
Stay awake
***
Eventually noon turns into afternoon
The problems have gathered in a pile
If only they were recyclable
Hoping to talk to you
Each day
There's nothing better
To do
***
Afternoon shifts to evening
I have done only the absolute minimum
And you're already sleeping
As I reflect on my day
There's nothing much else to say
Each day
My mood swings
Between the times
Between the tides
***
Evening is finally night
I hop into my bed
And barely whisper good night
***
I've been tossing and turning
For an hour or two
After numerous failures
Of attempting to fall fast asleep
An eye creaks open
And the side next to me?
Is completely empty
This is when I feel the most lonely
***
FIN.
