A Bedtime Story Poem by Susan Lacovara

A Bedtime Story

Rating: 5.0


He says it won't be too long
Between now
And then....

He'll ride back in
Like Gallahad
And rescue me from this tower

His words breathe life
Into my deflated lungs
His hands giving CPR
To my barely beating heart

He says it won't be long
Til time rewards us
With the return of what it stole

And I believe him
I always believe him
The same way I still believe
In happily-ever-afters
Even though I've long out grown
Most bedtime stories
I wait for him...
To turn the page

Very good and I really see where you are coming from. Something I would write and have, but with different words. Loneliness is a terrible place to be. I guess that was the demise with my relationship, traveling for work and a heart that couldn't open up.: (
