As I lay me down to sleep
I give to you my heart to keep.
Images of you run through my head.
As I lay me down to bed.

As I go to sleep this night
I think of you and your smile so bright
that it could do away with twilight's power
Bringing the sun's light at midnight's hour.

As I like in bed and dream
I dream that you are here with me
in my arms all safe and sound
Our hearts together forever are bound.

As I wake the following morn
I find myself completely torn
Between staying here in my body's home
or going to you, my heart's home.

As I struggle through the day
Images of you light my way
I'd do anything to get to you.
But first, this day, I must get through.

As I lay me down to sleep.....

I liked your poem. Nothing I've ever written is as good as that. In my opinion.

I can really relate to this. To make ourselves feel better we imagine things as the way we would like them to be portrayed. Waking up in the morning and missing someone is an awful feeling. Nice job!
