Wake Up

No longer do I 
go to sleep at night
because you haunt my dreams,
and waking up to find you’re not here
is harder than it seems.
See, I’d rather stay awake at night
because one thing I know is true,
that without my dreams of us,
I’ll never be with you.
So I don’t close my eyes at night,
and I don’t go to sleep,
because if I do,
I’d have to admit defeat.
So why don’t you try living
where you can’t face your dreams,
where every minute gets harder?
The fight
well, that’s the way it feels,
and it’s not that I can’t sleep,
because that I can do,
I'm tired all day thru . 
but if I close my eyes at night
then I am with you,
and you may think that’s what I want.
And one point it would be true,
but the reason I don’t sleep at night
is all down to you.
I’d happily dream about you all day long
Because in my dreams you care.
It’s the waking up without you
That I cannot seem to bear.
Even though your in my presence ,
It still feels as if you are not here.
N my heart hurts. 
With every silent tear. 
As u unnoticed the 
Pain n fears.
