I Cannot Sleep

I will not dream of the way your voice used to sound
When you said my name over the phone

I will not reread letters I had memorized
I will not go down that path

I will stand perfectly still
If that is the only path given to me

I will not fall. I will not love again
I know that I am too broken

To love again, to love anyone again
I need to heal... I need time to heal
