Lay me to rest

Its going to be a sleepless night.
Neither can I forget nor find reprieve
from all these feelings
I play hide and seek with
The silence of the night surrounding
the abode of emptiness I dwell in
the moments of peace are torn with
hours of missing the reality thats her
her existence among these solid phantoms
I pretend to talk and laugh without her
as an endless night creeps in without her laughter
the material plane in discord without her smiles
a deafening silence without her voice
an enigmatic existence without her words
unrequited it maybe but the multitude of feelings
the amazement of falling in such pristine love
and the gut wrenching pain that follows
all these half thoughts that she can piece with
a few words like yes I do too
feel the same way about you
alas that never seems to happen
as the curtains close on a painfully empty day
with searing thoughts of emptiness to blind me
and perhaps lay me to rest momentarily
