I couldn’t sleep again last night
Demons plagued my dreams
Wearing faces of love and affection
One that you often see

Demons plagued my dreams
Whispers of I love you
I’ll never leave you
Faces of black hair, blue eyes, and greed

Whispers of I love you
I woke with a fright
Instinctively turning to tell you
All about my night

I woke with a fright
But you were not there
You haven’t been for over a year
But if not here, then where?

If there is no rest for the wicked
Then why am I still awake.
Why do you sleep soundly
While I still feel the ache
