PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

as i lay awake, darkness sneaks into the room

as i lay afraid, darkness creeps into my mind

here i am alone with thoughts of what used to be

here i am again with thoughts i can't control

when i think about the days of long ago

when i think about the days i wish still existed

i keep seeing pictures in my mind of faces that i loved

i keep seeing pictures back in time of places that i've been

i keep hearing the sounds of the voices of the dead

i keep hearing the screams of the voices in my head

i can't turn on the radio, every song they play is a sad song

i can't listen to the radio, every song they play reminds me of you

i can't watch tv, these are the shows i used to watch with you

i can't look at the screen, these are the shows that make me think of you

i hate the way i feel, like everything is changing

i hate the way i feel, like nothing ever changes

it seems to me that the whole world is sleeping

it seems to be that they are all dreaming pleasant dreams

but i can't close my eyes because i'm afraid to let go

but i can't close my eyes because i don't want to lose you again

sometimes the darkness scares me more than i scare myself

sometimes the darkness is my only friend

i'm writing this because i can't get myself to sleep

i'm writing this because i don't want to forget how i felt

in the morning, i won't remember any of this

in the morning, i'll be alright again

as i'm re-reading this, i think i might be going crazy

as you're reading, you probably think i'm crazy
