   Black Sleep


   I sit here and watch the clock
   ticking away the hours night after night.
   Hours we used to share in joy
   are now empty and stretched unbearably.
   The nights are the worst part,
   in the day I accept it's over.
   But once I sit here the pain returns.
   I keep telling myself this is best,
   trying to convince myself this is right.
   Yet my heart won't let it go.
   I long to hear your voice, your laugh,
   the little sighs of happiness I gave you.
   But now there is just this empty space,
   a hole in my heart that will never close again.
   A wound worsened by unanswered questions,
   questions that haunt my sleep each night.
   Sleep is now endless torment to avoid,
   a blackness filled with echoes of questions.
   Why? What happened to change your heart?
   Was it something I said? Or did? Or forgot?
   I have no answers, no clues, just blackness.
   Each night is a little death I suffer,
   Stifiling the silent screams inside.
   Hoping to one day have an answer,
   an explanation to end my pain.
   To once again sleep in peace,
   and be freed from this sleep of death.

Very nice expression indeed  
I'm sorry you're hurting right now... ((hugs))
and I hope you'll feel better soon and get the answers you want.
Take Care!

Don't wanna dance if he can't be

A man that understands real love"

Wow, this is very sad. I feel the pain and confusion. Take care. All things pass, and there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. It's just real hard to see sometimes.
