Sleep

by:Allison

Praying at the bedside of a fallen angel
A sacrifice in the greater battle
She has given us what we never wanted to ask of her
She sleeps

I need her to be here with me
She completes me
She is an integral part of so much of me
She sleeps

Praying at the bedside of this broken angel
God bring her back to me
She wakes, but the name on her lips gives her away
She isn't mine anymore

My heart sleeps.

Home is where the heart is
