Sleepless (Poem/Song)

Sleepless

Sleepless, and feeling lost without you
Sleepless, and desperate to talk to you
Lying sleepless and day turns into night
Lying sleepless while night turns back to day

Waking up and painfully missing you
Waking up in cold sweats, thinking about you
Waking up, I'm crying and craving you
Waking up, knowing the next guy's fucking you

Do you smile, the way you smiled when I came?
Does your warm embrace comfort him the same?
Does he feel good, do you even call out his name?
Does he like your sweet taste, why'd you play this stupid game?

It's not about him, it's how you left me
It's not your lying, but why'd you lie to me?
I gave you all of me, but you could not respect me
As you leave me, I know it's best for me

Yet I still lie here sleepless, thinking about you
Lying sleepless, knowing you were not true
Pain and tears are the only things I feel for you
So I'm sleepless, not believing that we're through

I know all of this should come as no surprise
I could feel it festering, I saw through all your lies
I knew you were cheating, and now we've broken ties
Yet as you reject me, something in my heart dies

Are you happy? Then why do your eyes have that look?
Must you hate me? When all I ever wanted you took
No more lovers and friends, yet you're still an open book
Now as strangers, I see you're nothing but a crook

Cold and sleepless, nothing comforts me
I lie here sleepless, all because of you
Sleepless, I don't know him but he's not me
Sleepless, I know her and she's not you

No more sleepless, I can no longer blame me
Lying sleepless, feeling someone's fucking you
Crying sleepless, I need to take care of me
Sleepless, when I look in the mirror I see you

Are you happy? When all you care about is you
Will you ever know, how much I adored you
It's been 3 years and now I know the real you
Are you sleepless? Well that's all on you
