SLEEPING

 I didn’t drive a car,

I always had to ride my bike far,

Until you came, I got rides,

You drove a Shadow box car of four sides.

 

I always sat in the passenger seat,

The car smelled so good and was so neat,

It was freedom on a Saturday night,

Driving to see all the sights.

 

I remember going to Brampton,

Sleeping on the floor beside your figure,

It was perfect, better than at the Hampton,

My heart was beating getting bigger.

 

Until we bought our first home,

I could sleep beside you all the time,

I could smell your hair and watch you comb,

Saving all of our pennies and dimes.

 

I only know what foods you like,

Chicken parm and certainly not pike,

I only know what shopping stores you desire,

I know your make-up and your attire.

 

Now I sleep without in my bed,

No voices before I close my eyes,

No one to tell me to take my meds,

No more dreaming together as it dies.

 

We lost four years being apart,

Breaking each other hearts,

I want you back with me,

How much longer will this be?

 

What will we do when we reunite?

I won’t believe it’s you standing in front,

Will we now get into fights?

Will it be a new chapter to hunt?
