BUT STILL....I CANNOT SLEEP

IT'S MONDAY NIGHT AND THE SUN HAS FADED

BUT STILL I CANNOT SLEEP.

THE DARKENING HOUR THAT STARTS TO SURROUND ME

CAUSES MY HEART TO WEEP.



I LIE AWAKE IN BED THINKING OF

WHAT COULD BE, OR MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

IF ONLY I COULD FIND A WAY TO STOP

THINKING OF BACK THEN.



IT'S TUESDAY EVENING AND ALL IS QUIET

BUT STILL I CANNOT SLEEP.

WHEN A BROKEN HEART STILL LINGERS FOR

THE PASSION IT SHALL NEVER RECIEVE.



HOUR AFTER HOUR, WITH MY HEAD AGAINST THE BED

I FEEL A CHILL IN THE AIR.

I KNOW I CANNOT GIVE IT ALL AWAY

WHEN ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR.



THE MORNING IS CREEPING CLOSLEY

BUT STILL I CANNOT SLEEP

WITH MY MIND RACING THROUGH MY THOUGHTS

ALL I WISH FOR IS PEACE



MY SOUL CRIES OUT FOR RELIEF OF

THE ACHING THAT'S INSIDE

JUST TO LAY DOWN AND CLOSE MY EYES

ONLY SO I CAN SLEEP, AND LET THE PAIN SUBSIDE.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

LATLEY WITH ALL I HAVE GONE THROUGH MY NIGHTS ARE PRETTY RESTLESS. I WAS LYIN IN BED ONE NIGHT AND KEPT THINKING I STILL CANNOT SLEEP. SO I GOT UP AND WROTE A POEM ABOUT IT AND THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
