A chapter in the book 2023 Gypsy's Free Verse

Slipping Over the Edge of Sleep

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
 
slipping over the edge of sleep,

I hold on to memories

of our last day together



as the sunset is loitering

dying shadows of gold and red

on empty streets


 
floods of yearning engulf me
 
and your uncommitted presence 

can't quench my passion



because your lying eyes

tell me all I need to know

about your selfish soul



and my eyes full of longing

drown in memories of our love

knowing you will never return



as your touch 

echoes on my skin 
 
tangled with dying embers
