Day by day, I wake alone, in a cold and empty bed,
Day by day, thoughts of you, keep running through my head.
I wake and wish this day would be the one I see your smile
I sit and wait to see your face, I'm living in denial.
Because I know that there's no way that I'll see you today,
And as the sun begins to set, my hopes will slip away.
As darkness covers this cruel world, my heart grows darker too,
And I will whisper to the night how much I long for you.
The stars begin to twinkle, lighting up the sky above,
But the only light I long to see is the light of your love.
I pray tomorrow is that day that I'm holding you tight,
As in my cold and empty bed, I stare alone into the night.
Beautiful rhyme! ! ! Heart touching, believe me when I say we all go through such loneliness.Guess that makes the poem more poignant.Thank you for sharing.
Hi Mariann, this is an excellent poem. Touching message, rhyming verses!
What a wonderful poem! You've done an extraordinary job in revealing how beautiful love could be. Thanks for sharing! This poem could be 'poem of the month! !
A very nice poem. Apart from the obvious rhymes, the poem has a good rhythm. However the rhythm is lost is last stanza at 2 places. The second part of the second line (maybe love needs to be preceded by a single syllable adjective) . The second part of the last line has an extra syllable/word. (maybe 'alone' needs to be deleted) .
Lovely rhyming poem, great rhythm built in. Lost love, longing, torment of loneliness… so emotional…
so beautiful, so Sad, not felt till one has been left alone and lost.
This happened to be the very first poem which I read on Poem Hunter, back in about 2013. Right away I liked the theme of loneliness at night, and missing that special person. Alone in a cold, empty bed. I liked the longer lines, which had a regular rhyme scheme in the aabb pattern-rhyming couplets.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
A beautiful, heartfelt poem, and congratulations for having it selected as poem of the day on January 17 for the third time!
