Sleepless Nights

Sleepless nights are my only
Constant companion
I’ve loved you dear
Cherished each waking moment
But at night
Its just me and my pain

The darkness, stillness
Awakened a deep desire
To write my heart
These sleepless nights
How they comfort me

I want dreams
To be able to rest
But the night is my playground
Tonight it’s just me
And my constant pain

You’re all I have left
I know you’ll be there
When all else has died
To you I confide
My deepest secrets

Sleepless nights
My new obsession
How I long for the night
To cradle me
With all its pain

When its night
I feel my mind ablaze
And my heart is frozen
Tonight
It’s just me and my pain
