Slumber
2022-05-22, 4:21 p.m.

You enter the room and are met with unbearable silence.

There are no more loving words or glances to fill your day.

Gone are her tender kisses and caresses.

You look at the clock and get excited because it's almost time to see her.

Then you remember she is gone and time is irrelevant.

You sit alone in the darkened room across from her favorite chair.

A deep peaceful slumber comes over you and once again she’s at your side.

You hope never to wake up so the moment lasts forever.
