Enjoy! Feedback is much appreciated- Poetry really isn't my thing, so I need all the pointers I can get. :)


Awakening

He loves a night of restful sleep

Awakens with thoughts so deep

Of times before the silence screams

He sees within his fitful dreams

Dark walls, bright lights define the space

Where once he saw his true love's face

Memories, flashbacks, love so complete

Not once had he thought he'd ever compete

For what once was his, like nature's gift

Dependable tides that never shift

But tides aren't certain, love less so

Culpable, but how was he to know—

Eve- less trust in his perception

It was she who spun faceless deception.

A/N: I initially wrote this as Poetry assignment for English class at school, but I thought it suited Warrick and his relationship (or what I wish was his relationship) with his wife Tina. Of course, it could suit any pairing of characters. Please let me know what you think!
