Trying To Sleep
I’m trying to sleep but you’re always there when I close my eyes.
I keep trying to forget.
I keep trying not to cry.
How am I suppose to carry on?
Without you, I just don’t care if I live anymore.
When I wake up you’re not there for me.
Your good morning smile doesn’t shine anymore.
I can see your lipstick on the pillow case.
Your scent is still there.
I woke up hoping I was dreaming,
because you weren’t there again.
There’s a bitter chill.
The kind that deep freezes heart and soul.
Is nothing in the world as it seems?
I turnover and the bed is still.
Now you’re only with me in my dreams.
I wake up screaming.
The tears won’t stop flowing.
I wake up screaming.
I hate knowing that you’re not going to be there in the morning.
Why did you have to leave?
I’m dying here in bed alone.
I’m crying here in bed alone.
I can’t sleep when you’ve left me here alone.
