Sailing Alone Poem by Jay Aguiniga

Awaken by dreams that burn,
Frightened by cries in the mind,
Trembling with beads of sweat I lie,
Wondering, is this how an angel dies?
Exiled to the darkness,
sailing, but not moving in this hotel room
Oh baby, I'm wingless in this emptiness

Remembering when hope was the wind
And love was the sail
that carried us downwind
Now I float alone, I hail.
Over a horizon I try clinging to.
Oh baby, I'm falling over the edge without you.
