I longed for sleep after
tiring my heart with
long conversations
of yesterday and
the things that could
have been or should
have been.
I was brought to the
edge of the grave
where I thought it
was buried and I
laid flowers on
the headstone.
I said a prayer for
the old pain, so
often the same pain,
that never will stop
being a pain.
The ache of it is so
resounding and full
that sleep, so needed
and wanted is forced
away in tossing and
turning.
The pillow my
tombstone for
my love addled brain.
