Sleepless
You used to be there waiting
no matter night or day.
Is it something that I said
that made you go away?
All those nights we spent together
just you and me alone.
I don't think I can do this
without you on my own.
The days all run together
nights are filled with misery.
I stare at the bedroom ceiling
or just sit and watch TV.
I used to say I didn't need you
without you I'd be fine.
It's been less than a week
I've already lost my mind.
Lack of you is effecting me
my judgment and my choices.
Laying here just last night
I swear I heard some voices.
I seem to be forgetting things
I never forgot before.
Today I walked outside
but I don't recall what for.
The neighbors were all laughing
I felt the wind upon my chest.
I looked down and ran inside
I'd forgotten to get dressed.
I swear it will be different
this is not how it should be.
I miss you so very much
sleep please come back to me.
