Knowing

How do you sleep at night

Knowing

Knowing what you have done

The pain you caused

The damage you did

The scars that will remain

How do you sleep at night

Peacefully, calmly, in comfort

While knowing what you have done

While I cannot sleep I lay there in pain

Cant catch my breath to save my life

Tears stream down my face like a waterfall

The pain was almost as bad as how bad you hurt me

I sit there and think

Think about how I will never fully recover from what you have done and said

 Think about how I always came back

For years

No matter what you said or did

I always came back

But never again

Never again will I come back to

And be your little play toy

I was a page in your book

You read me and never look back

But you don’t care

It doesn’t affect you

You don’t care that you used me, that I am done

And will never come back to you

I will never be hurt by you again

But you will never care you are emotionless

How do you sleep at night

Knowing

Knowing what you have done

The pain you caused

The damage you did

[Elissa; the genuine art..]

This is un-refrained which is fantastic.
"Never again will I come back to
And be your little play toy
I was a page in your book
You read me and never look back"
I'm quite sure people have said that to me before, and that I have said it to others also. So I understand both sides of the poem.
I really hurts, doesn't it?

Anyways this was an excellent poem.
Keep up the great work!

the emotion just leaps off the screen! nice work

[Bette]

i like this, the flow is nice. and the emotion is raw

[Mauricio Montoya]

This one flow like a song you start with how do you sleep at night and then break down all the wrongs in steps you may have to fine tune it as a song or maybe not. But as a poem its fine the way it is, great job.

wow i can really relate. i go through this every f*****g day of my life and i hate it! god... sorry. i really did like this though! you expressed this well!

[Noah Bovier]

Very good. I think alot of people can relate to this.

[Lexi Nicole]

As others have already said, this definitely reads like a song. I really like how you wrote this, with the first lines being repeated as the last ones and everything all kind of just fell right into place, right where it needed to me. There's a lot of pain in this, a lot of emotion- you can feel it all coming right off the piece. Nice work!

[Katie Louise Hughes]

I find this could be a song as well, thanks for the read, and keep writing! :)
