Insomnia
I can't sleep without you
Yet you haunt me in my dreams.
Is this what I get?
For rejecting your pleas?
I sit in my room
To stare wordlessly
And remember the face
You gave me tearfully
But what could I do?
I'm a man without life
You need someone better
Whose time can suffice
And does not have moods
Which distance you from
The life you deserve
So you must move on.
I still cannot sleep
I want you with me
I know I have earned
This grief upon me…
So I sit in my room
With my eyes on the door
Pretending with hope
To catch a tip of a wing;
I left you for him
To call you his own
So I just sit here
Alone, just to hide.
Wait – is that a knock?
Could it – be your voice?
God, I want peace!
Delusions no more!
But I've not fallen asleep
You here… tonight…
The knock had been real
Your voice and your feel…
You sit by my side
Green orbs burning bright
You tell me you love me
I tell you Good-bye
My love, you just whispered,
I never will leave
It's over with him
With you, I do stay.
So I can't refuse
Because what you do
Is kiss me and say
Bruce, I love you.
