The last night in the nursery

I did not sleep with you last night
my body did not keep you warm
you did not have my neck to hang on to
when you were scared
my watchful gaze was nowhere
to be seen

You did not have my nose to kiss
or my hair to dry your tears
only the plain blue sheets for company
as in dreams you ventured, you sailed
forth into tomorrow
