Wake up all alone
Head like a stone
On my pillow

Wash down a few pills
Prescribed to cure my ills
Give my life control

The phone sits by the bed
Thoughts race in my head
No, I won't call

Your life became a dream
Once I was left to scream
Your bitter memory

Where now do I go?
This bitter pain I know
On this rainy Monday

Where now do I go?

Glance down to the streets
Crawl back under my sheets
Let more dreams take away my pain

Put out the light
Unplug this agony and fright
The cold day will chill my heart

Put out the light...

Put out the light...
I can't face the world yet

I really like this poem, I can relate to that feeling and you capture it perfectly. I like the short lines, you get right to the point. I cant think of anything I would change, it's really good.

The first part seemed like it was coming from somewhere different then the second part, almost like two different thoughts. Might want to look over that.

I also liked the short lines, they are nice, and simple and not really confusing.
