Another day wasted,
24 hours gone.

I'm tired of the many attempts I did,
Tired of almost getting my message through,
Almost getting my rehearsed apology through,
Tired of almost being true.

I failed her again,
Failed to make her stay just for a day,
Failed to make her fake smile go away,
Failed not to fail her just for a day.

I did nothing,
I could have said something,
But chose not saying anything,
I was just too uncaring.

I wasted this present day,
No thought bore action,
No action brought change,
No change brought healing.

I wasted today, so tonight, I sleep;
I sleep and tell her everything,
Tell her I cared,
I suffered,
And I learned.

Sleep is the only way I'll find her,
The only way I'll make her stay tonight.
