Last Night Poem by Kevin Carney

Last night…
I heard what I thought…
Were your whispers in the twilight of my dreams.
Lost it seems, once besides me.
No longer there…

I thought I felt the ripple of your breath…
In the stillness of the silent night.
Was it just a phantom of my mind?
Could it been the loneliness since you went away?
Maybe it was just wishful thinking….

As I tossed and turned…
Sleep restless, empty I feel…
The song no longer plays, it just has faded away.
Falling off the edge, will I ever recover?
To be right now so alone….

As the dawn comes nears…
I smell the hint of your perfume.
Lingering still on my pillow.
Memories, they are coming back to me…
Haunting and bewitching me…

I wish I could just let go…
To drift into silent sleep…
Before the morning sunrise.
It’s almost too much to bear.
Just to think about you…
