Lonely



Turning this way and turning that,
but find you I cannot.
An empty bed with much remorse...
a head full of imaginings of
warmth and tenderness.
Many empty nights with much regret...
your soothing touch I miss so much.
Please, come to me soon, wrap me in
love and kisses.
Make me forget all of the nights
I've missed you.
With all my heart I will respond to
the warmth and tenderness of your arms.
