Sleep

Time goes so slow as I lay here
Thinking about you and not wanting to hurt
I can't make you want my heart
Fear of rejection and a lost love
Keeps me awake
So much is at stake
My heart pounds in my chest as the tears begin to start
Memories of you so dear
Days have gone by without you
Words dance in my head
I wish I could sleep
Your eyes. Your face. Pictures so clear
Your arms holding me, your mouth kissing me
So not fair
The pain. Please God let me sleep
I ache so bad for him, can't you see?
