I miss wrapping my arms around you in bed The warmth of your back against my chest The smell of your hair as I nuzzle your neck The slow heave of your breath as you sleep Was the safest and most peaceful place to be at night And yet, you're no longer there As I lay bare my heart to no one else Tears I shed in bed for no one else I wonder how much longer does it have to hurt Especially now that I know we aren't together The bed is cold and empty at night without you here The nights quiet and painful without your breath Nights are no longer peaceful or safe I feel the darkness creeping on me now that I'm alone There's nowhere left to hide in this dark embrace

Painful Sleep
I miss wrapping my arms around you in bed The warmth of your back against my chest The smell of your hair as I nuzzle your neck The slow heave of your breath as you sleep Was the safest and most peaceful place to be at night And yet, you're no longer there As I lay bare my heart to no one else Tears I shed in bed for no one else I wonder how much longer does it have to hurt Especially now that I know we aren't together The bed is cold and empty at night without you here The nights quiet and painful without your breath Nights are no longer peaceful or safe I feel the darkness creeping on me now that I'm alone There's nowhere left to hide in this dark embrace
