Untitled Poem

I’m still alive tonight

I can feel m heart beating

Emotions on the surface of my skin

I can hear my breathing

Wind upon those bedsheet sails

Spirit broods over the deep

I see an image of my Father

And he bids me: “Come and sleep”

No one is sleeping down the hallway

No one is here beside me now

And the loneliness

Like a fever

Is hot upon my brow

I know life is more then just survival

But that’s all that i can see

I’m still alive tonight

And that’s good enough for me
