Sleepless
Sleep
sleep is afar from the eyes
For the mind is too busy
with many thoughts of you
Tossing and turning
staring up into space
Mad
am I gone mad
I've been trying to get over you
Yet memories of good times glimmering my mind
I can't help smiling
You once used to make me laugh
But
but time has changed and life goes on
Except here I am with another sleepless night
Pondering
Wondering
Fooling my mind
Exhausting my eyes
Playing with my heart
So
seems like I got too much of it
Reminiscing on what can't be undone
But baby No I don't need you anymore
These tears I cry are for the end
Because the sound of mid morning arriving
Signaling me to grow up and get some rest
Heavy lids drop and darkness swallow me whole
Smile
