Can’t Sleep

I can’t sleep
I just lay there crying
Dreams won’t come to me
I feel like dying…

No warmth in my bed
Cold winds in the room
Just memories of love
And omens of doom…

I long to sleep
Maybe even dream
To rest my soul
To feel supreme…

But my eyes are frozen
My mind’s awake
What went wrong?
Where is my mistake?

The bed is empty
Now I know
I cannot sleep
When away you go…
