Insomnia

Tears escape my eyes
as I recite the lyrics to your heart
the song I could hear
the note I cant reach because you’re far away
away from my embrace
away from the love that sang together
the hearts that fit together like puzzles
all went crashing down
the pieces that cut when touched
the pieces that cant even be fixed
awaken trying to find a way back to you
struggling to sleep on this dream
months since you’ve been stuck on my mind
desire to be in your arms even more
floors creaks making me look up to see you
the illusion of you my mind created
my hands reach out to you
only touching the dancing dust
