3.38am

by Em   Apr 1, 2021


3.38am and I cannot sleep
despite my body yearning for rest -

My mind is on overdrive tonight,
I had a feeling you'd find me
but
I had faith in the boys in blue.

Haven't you caused enough heartache?

I'm still paying for your debts,
in more ways than one and I
Sacrificed alot for you -

Will you not stop until I'm

6 feet under?

And I ask myself once more -
How do you stop caring for someone
who cared so little for you and
Am I deserving of true love?

Thoughts plague my mind,
It's no wonder insomnia prevails.

    Insomnia is often my worst enemy too, Em. However, not for this truly dreadful reason it has to be said.
