A Gone Companion Poem by Darlene Belcher

To hear you voice in the midnight hour,
and to feel you presence around me;

Is this punishment or are you haunting me?

I sometimes lay on the cold side of the bed,
where you once laid beside me;

Where could you be?

Sometimes when i'm sleeping,
i sense something strange.

Like someones pressing to my ear
and whispering 'i love you'

Why in my dreams?

Come back to me,
i need you here,
i'm not ready to live in the
fear of you gone.
