I thought this was beautiful. It's written by a woman for a man, about their separation. Nnormally it's the other way around. That is what makes it very special, an ordinary girl with extraordinary expression.
Sleepless
An ocean apart, several timezones away,
The sleepless nights are a small price to pay,
To see your smile and the gleam in your eye,
The one that steals all I meant to say.
Machines of bloodless plastic and chrome,
Lack the heat of skin that's found it's home.
But still we try to touch our fingertips,
To stroke the hair we'd love to comb.
When we part the smile stays upon my lips,
For unlike the sun our hearts know no eclipse,
And tho each of us alone into bed slips,
Our thoughts daily make a thousand trips.
