No wonder I can't sleep when you are gone, but still here. (Free verse) by Haleyj
My eyes want to close
But this keeps me awake
My body wears down
With every breath I take
I lay concious here
But completely unaware
Of what's going on around me
Frankly, I don't care
The only things sustaining me
Are the things that fill my dreams
Floating in and out of sleep
As crazy as it seems
I watch my most hidden thoughts
On a big screen somewhere inside
You're on every channel
Always tuned in to my mind
Someone hand me the remote
So I can try to rest my head
I try to stop the rolling film
But the batteries are dead
I'm wrapped up in my mistakes
And the things I should have done
I just lay and ponder the night away
Bound by what can't be outrun
I see your face in all the portraits
That hang on the walls of my brain
Etched in stone, stained in cloth
Colors and details all too plain
Tracing a finger along your face
Your voice ringing in my ears
It's no wonder I cannot sleep
When your'e gone, but still here
*For Katie who i miss with all my heart
