You keep me up at night,
Replaying those images.
You distract me from my work,
Playing pictures on different pages.

You give me laughter,
But you also provide me with that pain,
For one, I love,
And the other I wish I could refrain.

You replay the old times,
I like to pause the best,
But the hurt comes around,
Lingering on my chest.

You take me to a tunnel,
Where I can’t seem to find the light,
Feeling hopeless within the darkness.
Lost without my sight.

You bring the good times back around,
Some sort of effort to rescue me,
Bringing back my vision,
And allowing my eyes to see.

You haunt me at your worst,
Make me go insane.
No matter what I do,
I can’t rid myself of this pain.

You’re what keeps me up at night,
You’re the reason I can’t sleep.
You’re what haunts me,
And the reason I’m in this hole that seems too deep.
Something I was working on and was interrupted. Comments and thoughts are still appreciated. Thanks!
