Insomnia
You deserted me when I needed you.
I couldn't find you, And the harder I tried, The further you seemed. I felt so alone, you wouldn't comfort me. You wouldn't share my bed. I told myself I didn't need you. I tried to work, but I couldn't concentrate. I didn't need to eat, but I ate anyway. I went for walks, did sit-ups and push-ups, But you wouldn't come back to me. And then, at the worst possible time, you returned. People started laughing at me, But I couldn't hear them. I didn't care, I wanted you so much. You took me away and swallowed me whole. Right in the middle of a class. |
