Awake

by @pedrogarcia

again, I find myself awake. I’m sure you’re asleep, in his arms, wound tightly and pressing your body against his I’m sure you’re asleep, with his face in your hair wafting in your sweet aroma I’m sure you’re asleep, dreaming of the life you’ll live with the man you chose over me I know you don’t think of me anymore, and when I message you, you say you still love me but those are only words, and words don’t comfort me on these lonely nights words don’t lie next to me in this half empty bed under the slivers of moonlight words aren’t remedies for heartbreak nor antidotes for love sickness If you did love me, then why is it that you reply the next day and apologize because you were so busy with him If you did love me, why did you move in with him, how come I can see his presence in all of the snapchats you send me If you did love me, why did you choose him over me, how come you can have two hearts and I’ve nary a one I’m sure you’re asleep, blissfully unaware that I lay awake thinking of you when you wake up, your first thought will be of him when you wake up, your first sight will be his face when you wake up, your first smile will be for him and when you fall back asleep, you’ll have spent the whole day without even thinking of me once you’ll fall back asleep, and I’ll still be awake, tortured every agonizing moment thinking of you but just because I’m awake, doesn’t mean I’m not tired I wish I could sleep forever
