Night Turmoil

Categories: Bereavement

My mind is in turmoil
Once again
Mental torment
Bringing so much pain
Try to sleep
But in vain.

When will I be free
Of this agony?
When memories of you
Pierce me through
Souvenirs you left behind
Bombarding my mind.

I long for dawn
For daylight to break
So that I can make
A fresh, new start
For the healing of my mind
And my aching heart.
