Sleepless

Sleepless

I dread going to bed at night

Because I know I’ll be alone..

I lay on my back and look up at the ceiling

Wishing someone was holding me tight

And whispering in my ear that everything is alright..

I feel the blood flowing through my veins

While my heart is aching through my chest

Does anyone hear it beating?

Does anyone hear me crying?

The walls begin to collapse on me

And the darkness overcomes me

Hoping someone can save me from this

Every where I turn I see you…

You’re a nightmare that stays with me 24/7

Why is your soul haunting me..

What is it you could possibly want more from me?

You took that one thing that was mine

And every inch of it is glued to my heart

I don’t have to sleep to see the evil..

Why can’t I just forget this

And be filled with happiness?

And stop ruining everything I touch

My head is resting on my pillow

When my eyes begin to close

I fall to sleep, late at night, tossing and turning

And wake up to all of it again…

Don't worry, eventually, all of it will go away. And even if there's some left, it won't cause you..like..any pain at all. We just have to wait for these things to pass. But for now, try to forget him, try to move on.
Great piece, keep up the awesome work,
~Lauren =)

OMG!
That was like the best poem ever!!
It was sooo creative, and soo nice! It really touched me deep down.
I've already felt this way before...
Don't worry, you'll get over it just like i did.
You know what?
I think that you're the best writer on earth.

Lots of love, Lil' poet.

You won't have to suffer his face forever. I think you hit a milestone with this one, because so many people including myself can relate to it in some way. Congratulations.

oh yes love and his heart breaks, we like to fall in love to unknowingly want to feel its pains,its sleepless nights ,its torment,but some stay away thinking their serene easy life is much worth than the turmoil of love and all its aches ,but once we are in ,we are afraid ,and once ,love is there its easy to fly way leaving us to much pain and aches and nights full of bad dreams ,turning our life to burning hell,its lovely ,its sad ,to always love again ,but we just cant stop ourselves,it calls for us ,it will say come you want to taste me but you will have to feel some pain along the way...very nice writing really so dreamy and full of love with all its hurts
