Awake

I’m lying awake, staring at the walls 1

I listen to the silence creeping down the halls.2

I think of you and have to smile3

And imagine you there all the while.4


Next to me in my bed5

Our eyes locked, head to head6

Breathing deep and keeping calm7

But your heart beats hard under my palm8


I like it here. I feel content9

breathing in your precious scent10

You hold me close and kiss my hair11

I hug you tighter to keep you there.12


“Hold me closer.” Is what I say13

To keep you here, to have you stay14

Me in your arms and strong embrace15

So I wake up and see your face.16


“I love you,” you tell me, “In every way.”17

“I love you to,” I whisper, “Every moment of everyday.”18

We snuggle back and hold on tight19

As the sun fills the room with golden light.20

Does this flow well?

    The flow could be improved if you threw in some minor words in a couple phrases...Most reads pretty well, however, some lines did not have quite enough sylables to go with the rest. On a lighter note, the rhymes were very good, they did not seem forced, which is nice. Keep up the good work.
