Insomnia visits me,
Along with your memory...
Making it even harder to sleep.

The bed is now emptier,
Unoccupied by the one I love;
Leaving me alone
With the realization that
You are gone for good.

A glass of rum and coke
Sits beside me
On the nightstand.
Frequently I take sips,
As I write you this poem.

I piece together
The memories of our past.
Deep in thought,
I remember how you hated
That I smoke.
I turn and light up a cigarette.

Calming my nerves,
I relax my entire body.
Laying back, I close my eyes
Awaiting the sun to rise.*

"In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..."
