Cold Sleepless Nights

Updated: May 13, 2022

Why do I wait so long for things to get right?


Our backs to each other, Those cold, sleepless nights.


I guard my heart so closely it’s a miracle you got in, To take my head and heart on an emotional spin.

You were there when I needed you, You helped me grow, Then morphed into someone I hardly know


What flipped the switch to push me away? As your passion grew colder with each passing day


Magnets once strong then pushed apart You’ve left me with longing, Confusion in my heart.


It’s funny, With you a future could have been spun, You’ve proved to me there couldn’t be one.


Limping, then walking, Then learning to run, Some say, My life has just begun.
