Just Another Night...

I spend another night
Lying in our bed
Looking out the window
Pondering our story

Wondering what’s happened
How did we ever get here?
We had such different plans
For where we would be now

Tears fall down my cheek
Although I try to stop them
Cannot stuff the heartache
Deep inside my soul

You lie in bed sleeping
It comes so easy for you
The fear and pain don’t haunt you
Once your head hits the pillow

While I spend another night
Lying in our bed
Looking out the window
Pondering our story

Wondering what’s happened
How did we ever get here?
We had such different plans
For where we would be now

Tears fall down my cheek
Although I try to stop them
Cannot stuff the heartache
Deep inside my soul

  1. This poem is filled with emotion. I have found that most times in the stillness of the night, my thoughts & emotions surface the strongest. As I have thought about this post since reading it earlier this morning, one verse keeps coming through my mind. I hope you won't mind if I share it:
    "On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you, your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:6, 6, 8.
    Kim, whatever has caused the anguish, hold onto Him in the night. He will uphold you & be your help.
    Blessings,
    Joanne Viola
