Can't Sleep

Sleep.
Please let me sleep.
I shut my eyes.
I count the sheep.
But still I lay here.
And still I think.
Sleep.
1. 2. 3. 4. Sheep.
Keep on counting.
The thoughts are hounding.
It drives me crazy.
So I stay awake.

You

You
When you look to the sky and see nothing but Grey
When the cloud come through your eyes, it's been a bad day
Never forget the smile that you put on my face
Even when your mind must stray
You are more than what you give yourself credit
Your amazing in my eyes and never forget it
The way you light up a room as soon as you enter
You're not broken just bent, there's no need to fix her.
I hope you know just how special you are
I feel in my heart, I know you will go far
Keep pushing and when you look to your side
There I'll be along for the ride
I see great things for you and I hope I'll be there
When you put your head down and just want to stare.
I get those moods, so know I understand
Together we can do things never known to man
I'm excited to see where this chapter will go
Keep your head up darling, they are watching our show

Didn't mean to rip the picture, but we were so mad at us ...no, so scared
and sad.
Didn't mean to shout, but we were yelling at us...no, primal scream
this shouldn't be happening.
Didn't mean to use those words, but we were being mean to us...no frustrated
and losing touch.
Didn't mean to walk away, but we forced us...no refused to be pushed
to proud because we trusted
in us.
Didn't mean to take so long to apologise, but we needed space from us....no, time to readjust
see how we felt away from us.
Didn't mean a thing to be only me and you...no, we need to be us
confessed it is true
Lord I've tried so hard
They wonder why
I pray to be free
Save me
From what reality became to be
Bless me with truths
This blind eye can't see
My soul
Won't accept this society
This struggle ain't for me
Lord please come save me.
Each grain of sand slipping in this hourglass of life-
seems to remind me that you aren't right by my side-
the fleeting wide-eyed surprises we shared together
doesn't make up for a better night rest and I'm up again
with a paper and pen, penning my pensive thoughts
that are caught in the back of my skull into words.
The hurt is still there but I'll forget them all if I could
just hold you in my arm.

Remind you that I am the calm after a storm and your-
eyes are the most beautiful gems I have ever seen.
The emerald green really brings out the depth of your heart,
but the art you bleed to life seems to spill off the canvas
and the answers I'm looking for can only be found in your eyes.

Tonight; I'm reminded of how much you made me smile,
tonight; I'm reminded of how much I have loved you.
Every moments pass by, days go by and I know,
I know, I know, I missed the chance to ever see you again.
This pen bleeds my anguish but the tear stained tissues
captures my misused miss yous.

You have cities in your eyes, I wish I could see them again,
the sunrises, sunsets, the butterflies, the birds and the horizon;
beyond the photos,
beyond the memories.
