Harder at night

It’s harder at night
when I am alone in my bed
thoughts of you stir within
and sleep can’t be found.

It’s harder at night
when your face haunts my dreams
your touch burns my skin
the taste of you lingers in my mouth.

It’s harder at night
when darkness surrounds me
loneliness fills me
and desire scorches my soul.

It’s harder at night
when you are not here
your breath is not heard
and your skin is not felt.

Everything is harder at night….
