Your Picture By My Bedside Poem by Danny D

I never thought there will come a day.
Where I have to go to sleep
Without hearing your lovely voice.
That was a promise you made to me.
I never thought there will come a day
Where I have to go to sleep
Without me telling you “I love you”
That was a promise I made to you.
But yester night I went sleep
With neither of those promises fulfilled.
But from today I want to keep my promise to you.
That’s why I have a picture of you by my bedside.
You are the last thing I think before I sleep.
And I want to tell you that.
Though you are not near; for that to hear
I made sure I looked into your eyes;
Before I closed my eyes to sleep.
Your beautiful face is what I wanted to see
First thing I wake up in the morning.
Now I do with you always smiling from the bedside.
There are things that I want to say to you.
Your picture is all I have to say that to.
And it listens without getting mad at me.
I want to tell you that you mean the world to me.
And that I miss talking to you
I miss your touch and everything about you.
Why do you have to far from me?
Why do you turn blind to my love for you?
Why do you push me away and away?
Why wouldn’t you give me a chance?
There are no replies as your picture doesn’t talk
Yet it looks at me ever so lovingly.
Sometimes when I am feeling awfully low;
And I wish I was in a never ending sleep.
Because it’s another day without you.
Another day without your touch
I wish you were near for you were my strength
But you are not here to lift me up.
Yet your picture looks at me encouragingly.
How long will your picture carry me thru?
I wish you were near and I wish you were mine.
But your picture is all I have.
