Achlys
I have no need for sleep,
no more than you have a need for me.
no more than the wind blows,
I feel lost in your web.
I do not sleep,
simply because my dreams.
In my dreams you appear night after night,
and night after night brings me to your face.
I wish I could feel your warm embrace once more.
I wish I could hold your hand and not feel numb.
I miss the me you once knew,
before the saddness came.
Oh Achlys you have struck this child with despair.
But forgive me when I say,
I do not sleep for fear I will wake up next to you.
