Crushed

"So, again I am crying myself to sleep"

By Zhan SwainPublished 4 years ago 1 min read
Missing someone could leave you crushed

Waking up in the cold room

Days keep repeating again

Take a bag and head to the work

Encouraging my mind to take this walk

Wind of the winter softly brings memories

Memories bitter-sweet burn my heart

I am not home, because you are not here

So spread your luminous wings

Keep me safe from the cold winds

I need your loving gaze of Emerald eyes

Your wise words that give me strength

The warm embrace that I miss the most

But the distance keeps me down

So, again I am crying myself to sleep

The second race of seasons have started

Moon keeps listening to my worries

This world is so restless

But the will of your scent to be here

Assumption of me going to you

Sounds so hopeless

Walking so lifeless to the repeating days

So spread your luminous wings

Keep me safe from the cold winds

I need your loving gaze of Emerald eyes

your wise words that give me strength

The warm embrace that I miss the most

But the distance keeps me down

So, again I am crying myself to sleep

Hoping for best no time to rest

Overthinking, working stressed

Wanna see you, wanna hug you

Oh, mother sing me a lullaby to sleep

A moon that kept on listening wordlessly

So again, I am crying myself to sleep.
