While you lie sleeping


Correcting misspelling. Gotta love spell check. Ugh I have so much to tell you since you've been gone You feel every crevice in my mind You've missed 6000 nights Innumerous rain drops 6000 days of dawn Freeing myself from solitary confinement I hop, I climb, I run The grasp of loneliness loosen I've swum further than I've ever swum I blink the tears away Again and again You were my rock I held on to My everything Nevertheless you lie sleeping Mlh0724
