Teddy

you left this morning
and this day has been hell
knowing you had to go
believing it the only way

tonight so cold and lonely
waiting for something
at every breath, please anything
to calm this broken heart

time for bed so empty
covers thrown back
and there is teddy
waiting to help me sleep

teddy, wet with tears
i thought you took him
teddy dripping with pain
your mercy showing

get thru this night
still hoping for a call or email
knowing your gone
talking to God

praying for tomorrow
sleep won't come
the demons will come can't wake
get thru this night

Powerful poem of loss and sleeplessness.  I can relate the last stanza quite well.
