Yearning Poem by Michael WheelerWyatt

I catch myself going back into your room to hear you breathe
I yearn for the sun to come up so I can see what you can see
In your presence I can be all that I can be
And all that I want to be – can you see?

You are the emotion that fills my day
I hang on to every illusion that you make
With every word that you say
When you are near I feel no pain

With you in my life I can never be the same
I stop myself building my dreams away from you (around you)
In case one day you decide I am not for you
I pray for darkness at the end of the long and slow day
So I can smoothly ride your blanket of dreams

With you around I can be all I need to be
You are the emotion that fills my day
I hang on to every illusion that you make
When you are near I feel no pain
With you in my life nothing will be the same

I love the sun rising so I can breathe the coolest air that you breath
I want to see what you see - it’s the only way I can be truly free
