Sleeping next to an empty vase

Sleeping next to an empty vase

A Poem by purpleray
"

Things i think about in bed at night....laying next to an empty crystal.

"

Things I think about in bed late at night....

Sirens going off in this never sleeping city
laying next to a man who won't let me be 
Happy in my solitude

It always starts the same and ends the same 
Soft kisses in a car and motel rooms rough

Hands claiming what they think is theirs

And I look for it everywhere in everything 
in the kisses 
In the touches 
In the eyes of a man with a bomb strapped beneath his waist 

I look for it everywhere in everything
Every look 
Every word 

But those fragmented seconds I think, I have it in my grip 
It kept slipping through my fingers 
I counted days as seconds and year's as weeks 
Trying to hold on to clouds
Which quickly kept turning into rain
Maybe there is just no love here.
