Sleepless
No sleep when your heart is aching
The ache is constant the hurt doesn't beat
You live with needles in your skin, constant throbbing
The memories of him playing over and over
Twisting and turning no sleep tonight... again ...father why?
I want to erase the memories...run away from this agony ...I want this to end
No sleep...just tears and pain... I don't want to live here, drunken in anguish twisting and turning no rest for the wicked...haunted by his face , he's sleeping next to his new mate...and me just here ,I want to die ...twisting and turning pray for peace within....restless...sleepless
