Restless

Restless

The thought
of you awaken me
Sweating
Reaching
Calling
Your name.
My love
My life
My woman
My destiny
My wife
My eternity
Wiping the insecurities 
filling my mind of my unworthiness.
You're  still here lying beside me.
Breathing
Breathing
Hearing your heart beat.
Thump
Thump
I watch you
Feeling alone
And
Abandon
Yet
I lay beside you
Tracing the outlines of your face with my fingers
Wanting to wake you.
I let you sleep
Why can't I take you in all my dreams?
It's lonely there without you.
Whispering
I need you
I want you
Wake up.
