Nightmares

I can't sleep.
The nightmares of her leaving me
haunts me so deep.

My eyes burn from being so tired,
or maybe its from all the tears that
has transpired.

Alone,
in the dark without a thought to
keep me company.
Its like her in my dreams were
never meant to be,
well so it seems.

I close my eyes to try to sleep again,
but the vision of a black empty space
gets bigger,
so I grab a pen.

And start to write,
I don't even turn on a light.
I want to stay in the dark
to reflect the vision of my
heart's sight.
I see the tears start to fall
on the paper that’s pure and white.
I open the curtain to welcome in
the moonlight.

I am the moon,
it's always alone in sky,
and sometimes no one even notices that
it's there.
Like I care for her as much as care for my
own life,
but she doesn't feel the same way,
it doesn't sound fair.
But it took me awhile to figure out that
you want what your heart wants, and
nothing else will even compare.
I just hope the next girl I love,
her heart will love me,
or I'll never get any sleep,
I'll just keep getting nightmares.
