Nighttime Ramblings

I lay awake

Imagine you're there

It helps me to sleep

Pretending you care



I think of how you don't care

And I can't get to sleep

This insomnia I'm fighting

Really makes me weak



I do enjoy myself at night

With only you on my mind

The thoughts help me to understand

Why you can't be kind



If you were ever nice to me

While we were at school

Your friends then would leave you out

And label you a fool



So now I finally understand

The nature of your life

I understand all the painfulness

The drama and the strife



Now that I actually know

Why you are so meek

Maybe I can settle down

And finally get some sleep
