I Can'T Sleep

I Can't Sleep I can't sleep because that girl I used to love won't leave me alone; stomping around in my mind, shaking the pillars in dreamland overpowering me in my only place of peace, and that smile she gives off toward me, shacks my bones, and tears my heart apart. She finds her way to my heart, plays around a little while and bites a chunk out and chews slowly, all I can do is watch her while her beauty blinds me, even with my eyes closed. I can't sleep, get me some coffee, this girl won't leave me alone, she'll have my goodnight sleep, I'll be a zombie before morning and that sunrise will wake me up. I sit at the table head heavy in my hands, thinking...thinking of her, that girl I used to love and the way she made me feel... no more thoughts now, I need some sleep.
