Sleepless Beauty

Why can't Sleeping Beauty sleep?

I lay here night after night,
tossing and turning
wondering if I should throw it all away,
and  throw in the towel?
or should I stay?
and just turn the other cheek?
while pretending like I don't see
whats happening right in front of me
I lay here thinking about the good times,
and the bad times,

I'm losing my beauty sleep because of you!

No prince to wake me from this nightmare,
no kiss to bring me back to life
without you I'm dead inside
trapped in a simple dream

"No prince to wake me from this nightmare,
no kiss to bring me back to life
without you I'm dead inside

Amazing! This could be one of my favorite pieces of poetry. It was well written and beautiful! I can easily relate to this and it is full of heartahce. The title was clever as well. I am shelving this one

I am reading this as though the prince is not dead or even gone away but the prince you thought you had is not a prince but a knave.
The dream is that which you wish would be in the face of the stark reality.

Nice writing.

This is a great way to express the loss of lover. The thinking can keep us awake when there is trouble on our mind. You have clearly shown what all of us have went through at one time or another.

I can relate so well to this poem.. the after-effects of a love gone bad.. left with questions and doubts. Excellent job!
