I Cannot, Sleep, Eat, or Think
Every night as I lay in hopes of sweet dreams to
come my way.
Visions of you would appear.
I reach out, but you not there.
My tired eyes fail to hide the loneliness I have inside.
These tears I weep are of the memories of you I keep.
My heart is restless as my feelings are still very deep.
These thoughts remain, and every night it is the same.
Memories of you keep me awake and
I Cannot sleep.
Time has passed and you are gone.
I assumed what I felt would be done.
This is not an easy feat.
I have this void which has left me incomplete.
It was a treat how you were so sweet.
My emptiness hungers to be satisfied,
But still
I Cannot Eat.
So many words I wanted to say.
Too many nights I would pray.
Give me the strength so my love would convey.
As hard as I tried, I just could not focus.
It all came back to thoughts of us.
On paper my words would not appear.
You had consumed my every thought, that was clear.
The more I would try, I made no sense, and my pen ran dry.
Powerless without ink, I was so easily distracted, lost and confused,
I Cannot Think.
