The Hope of You

~~ @Angela Wilcox July 2016 - Another piece written at a melancholy time in my life that followed many months of emotional turmoil that I had created (once again) for myself.  Apparently a cycle for me!  

I cannot sleep...
     My heart won't rest.
Thoughts of you,
     Beat in my chest.

I walk outside.
     The night is hot.
The neighbors dream...
     But I do not.

I wonder will...
     This heat subside?
Forever gone...
     Not by my side.

The moon is full...
     I shake and quiver.
I sigh and try...
     Not to remember.

Now I must sleep.
     I must move on.
The hope of you...
     It must be gone.
