Sleepless

Sleepless

A Poem by QuietPoet

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…

This is powerful and heartbreaking and amazing! I can feel the pain in this. I know I say this a lot, but I can relate, I have felt this many times. Wanting to escape from the memories of a relationship gone horribly wrong.

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

Why is your soul haunting me..

You took that one thing that was mine

And every inch of it is glued to my heart

I know the feeling, it's sad, heartbreaking and lonely. A very well written poem. Thank you for sharing. Debileah

Heartbreaking. This is truly heartbreaking. I so wish I had a magical cure and the perfect words to say every time I read about someone's suffering (from heartbreak usually), to fix it all. To just say the right thing and poof.. all better. Oh how I wish it..

The truth is, a time does come when it's "all better". The difficult thing is... it takes time. Sometimes, more than we think we can bear. But time does heal and we get better, and then we love again, hopefully a little wiser and better the next time around.

We endure a lot of emotional blows in this life. Strength is so hard to hold on to, but without it we are forever lost. Hold on, your time is coming... happiness is as close as you hold it or as far as you throw it. Reach for it... :)

It will get better my friend... it truly will.

This is a very well written, emotionally expressed piece! Keep writing... it does wonders. :)

Great job!

In so few words, you have described my life, right down to the tossing and turning in bed. I have often wondered when I will be able to rest without longing for her to be there next to me. Perhaps that day will never come...This piece was well written. I enjoyed it very much so.
