Sleep Never comes Easy
written by Emochick4101:21 AM 4/20/05Three A.M. and I’m waking up,
It’s the third night in a row.
I keep think that sleep should come easy
But it always proves me wrong.
Laying here I start to think,
That maybe you’re doing the same
Sitting in your darkened room
With the only florescent glow
Flowing from the tip of your incense.
Through both houses nothing stirs
Except the breath in separate rooms
You stand up; Move to the window
You can’t stand being alone.
The Bright Headlights;
They stain your face
As the people of the world
Move on.
You’re in a different time and place
Your heartbreaks; you’re all alone.
Standing there you slowly drift off
Back to the year before
When friendship was easy and hardships were gone
Yeah, Things really have changed.
You made too many mistakes
You sold too many lies
None of them have any sympathy,
For someone that pathetic.
You fade back and picture the paper.
The notes, they hold the truth.
They still linger in that box,
That we placed beneath your bed.
You don’t need to bring them out
You know every word by heart.
They were there to comfort you
When all your life fell apart.
I can just see you standing there.
With the single trail on your face
And I feel sorry you’re not the same,
But you deserve what you’re going through.
For you broke them; they paid you back
Worse than everyone thought.
You messed up everyone’s life
But if I had to guess, you’d take it back.
Then night turned black, only the stars
The word escapes you lips.
I suppose I have to forgive you now
For you’ve punished yourself enough.
Back in my room, the incense glows
For only one second more
The clock strikes four; An Hour gone.
Yeah I Know, Sleep never comes easy. |

Author's footnotes and comments on this Poem:
If you asked anyone else they'd say this is my writing at it's worst. This is my favorite though. I wrote it from a very stong personal experience that still haunts me. The theme is a girl wakes up in the middle of the night and starts wondering what here ex is doing at the exact moment. It later goes on to give a hint of how she achieved revenge and then she realizes that he's sorry and would take it all back. It's complicated...
