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.
