Sleepless Nights

Thought of your betrayal filled me with frights,
This I cannot bear on my fragile heart,
Confusion and pain cause me sleepless nights.

Sorrow travels down my spine like  fast cart,
is hard to believe;doing good I`ve signed,
This I cannot bear on my fragile heart.

I never thought it will be from your kind,
For a friend  to  take  away  my  jewel,
is hard to believe;doing good I`ve signed.

Disturbed by this for days; I couldn`t feed well,
For it`s  like a stab of  knife  in my  back,
For a friend to take away  my jewel.

All my feelings get blown out of the sack,
I become devastated and insane,
For it`s like a stab of knife in my back.

Your callousness makes my bones reign in wane,
Thought of your betrayal filled me with frights,
I become  devastated  and insane,
Confusion and pain cause me sleepless nights.
