War within Myself

Every day is a war with myself.

Without You

I seem to never sleep on the first night after you leave…
Is it because I can’t sleep without you? Without feeling the warmth of your body next to
or touching mine?
Or is it because I’m afraid if I sleep even one minute without you,
I might...
