I lie awake while
Desperate for sleep
Time it keeps passing
Yet the hours bleak
I've come to the conclusion
That I must be doing something
Wrong or maybe it's just my
Patience long gone
I don't know what others think
Before settling for bed
But sure wish I could abandon
these festering thoughts
As the pillow cradles my head
Mostly because of anger
Maybe because of rage
Mostly because I desperately seek
The key that opens this cage
How am I to love a man
Who has no sympathy for my grief
Instead of holding my hand
He shuns and grinds his teeth
What the f*** am I supposed to do
With this disdain for life I feel
Cut the wounds even deeper to see
If by all means it ends or heals
