lying awake
comfy in bed
shards of memories
cram your head
wanting sleep
you lay
you think
staring into nothingness
you try
you think
insomnia it is
stealing your sleep

You were so bright you cast a shadow on me.
You were younger, but I always looked up to you.

I always wished I had your confidence, your smile.
I always hoped I could leave your shadow behind, but not like this.

I would give anything to have you back
see your smile again, feel the warmth of your hug.

Instead I only have pictures,
it is the only way I can see your face.
Even your voice has faded in my mind.

I could never forget you, but I have to let you go.
You said I would never be alone,
that you would always be there.

You lied, and now your gone.
Where does that leave me?

Alone...
