Only if….

 Restless days, empty nights

Moments slipping , heart yearning 

Can’t run , can’t abandon, can’t leave the fort

Wish I had your hand to hold 

To squeeze tight, when heart could take no more

A soothing word from you would mean

A balm on my aching soul

Those eyes to gaze into 

And world would stop still

That body to cuddle into

And feel like a cherished child

I could pour out my words and tears

On you,my comfort person

No questions, no judging, no rationale to give into

Just be myself for a few breaths

Raw, naked and bare to see through 

If only you were here my companion

The days could have been easier

And nights a little more warmer

Sufferings would gnaw slower

Gashes might heal faster

If only you were here…
