Sleepless
My eyes are not tempted to cry,
Perhaps they’ve had enough this time.
They must be sick of me,
As am I,
I’d like to leave them alone to cry.
But I can’t,
This soul cannot shake off this shell,
I’m left alone in my private hell.
Every shiver that runs up my spine,
Leaves me feeling cold inside.
Explaining nothing, leaving nothing,
I’m so alone,
So tired but I cannot sleep,
Restless, so numb and paralysed,
Sleepless, feel the stillness of my tired eyes,
Careless, but I know that I must care,
This panic inside must come from somewhere.
I tell myself these wounds have healed,
So that I can create some fresh ones,
Loveless, anything at all to feel.
But this feeling is not good enough,
Where is love? I know its all just lust
I feel.
I know that I’m ugly,
You don’t have to tell me so,
I’ve always known.
