Sleep&Forget

"Good night Sleep tight"
That's what they say.
Then they turn off the light
And sleep 'till the next day.

I lay awake in my bed
Remembering what he said.
His face, his words
Are always on my mind,
Haunting me all the time!

Silence...

I hear nothing
I see nothing
But something I do feel:
My broken heart slowly beating,
Waiting to heal.

I just want to sleep,
Sleep and forget
These thoughts too deep,
Too hard to accept.

The silence is broken...
I hear someone crying.
No words of comfort spoken,
But, still, the tears start drying.

I put my hand on my face,
Those tears away I sweep.
What a pathetic disgrace...
I smile and fall asleep.
