As she lies sleeping
She is now peaceful
I weep
For tomorrow I do not know if
I will see her blues eyes smile at me once again
As she lies sleeping
I watch her breathing
The monitors beep
For tomorrow I do not know if
her heart will beat for me once again
As she lies sleeping
surrounded by machines keeping her here
I hold her hand and remember
For tomorrow I do not know if
I will ever feel her touch upon my skin once again
For tonight I will stay and watch her lie sleeping
And tomorrow I pray she is brought back to me once again

I don’t know if knowing you gives me an unfair advantage because I know the back story to a lot of these poems, but I really enjoy reading them and getting to know you that little bit more each time.
Thank you, I do appreciate where you are coming from, maybe you do have an unfair advantage that you know the story and person involved albeit from what I have told you about J .
