I won't sleep tonight    Because I can't do so        In your arms    Because my bed        Is too cold I'll stare at the ceiling    Because I can't        Hear your breathing    Or feel the rising        Of your chest on mine I'll be awake for days    Since I cannot find one to        Occupy the this vacancy    Someone to clot        This open wound I'll bleed to death Not from thinning blood From trauma and not enough Arms to pat me On the back I'll rise out of my Lifeless husk and Show you what you're missing Look inside yourself Now you know what could have been
