For Five Hours...I didn't write you a poem because you wanted one for a change

For five hours last night I tried to sleep but I kept seeing your face

For five hours last night I tried to dream but I kept seeing you lost

For five hours last night I tried to let you go but you were still there

We went around and around in circles winding me up

We spun around in my head I couldn’t give you up

We hung around for hours and for a brief moment you loved me again

You didn’t hate me

You didn’t wish I was dead

You didn’t wish I never met you

And despite my tear soaked pillow and my sore red eyes

Those were the best five hours of my life

Because for a brief moment in my world

I felt whole again

My world didn’t feel empty

My world wasn’t a solo act

My world was in a word…

Peaceful.

-You always did help me find peace in my cloudy, tornado and roller coaster world.
