While I Sleep

By: Betsy Lynne Gross

Where are your Wings?
Why can't you Fly?
Are you here,
Or have I died?
So much pain
I feel inside
As each night
I close my Eyes.
Why do I have to see
These Horrible things?
Instead of just
Thoughts of you and me.
I hold your heart
I feel it beat
To dream of you
Tonight while I sleep.
