All You Who Sleep Tonight

this arrangement of words reminded me of the emptiness, of my family and friends not being around at this moment...
Might have something in offer for you as well...


All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right
And emptiness above,
Know that you aren't alone
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one
And some for all their years.
