Sleepless

Every night I try in vain

To stop hearing your name

But you follow me from room to room

Filling my mind and heart with doom

I can't stop the thoughts as they come

Sleep eludes me even though I need some

You chose to leave me in the most final way

Memories will haunt me forever from that awful day

So, since it was your choice to leave and not mine

It would be great if you could give my mind some time

It needs to rest, to stop, to sleep

Please let tonight be the one I don't weep
