Silent Vigils

Silent Vigils

I have been a ghost,
Silent and transparent,
Hidden by your bedside.
I have watched you as you sleep
And heard you cry out,
Seen you weep for love of dreams,
For want of dreams.
But your empty mind
And cloaked eyes,
Keep you hidden in silence.
And I’ve sewn your heart back together,
So many times when you’ve come to me,
Your life shattered when your love had gone.
I’ve held you hand when you needed it,
Painted your dreams as you slept.
And my thanks is never coming.
You’ll never need me like you needed her.
