Sleepless Nights

On sleepless nights I turn

and toss

All in reverse

whilst laying damp

with salty sweat and tears that dribble from my eyes

Forming patches of my shame

Amongst my sheets

I turn over every crumb

you gave to me

and try to flick it far away

but still you stay

I wake up wondering

where I am

and who

and why?

And like a spy

My wandering eye

will make a fuss

The shadow corners

Sail across the room

with passing headlights

passing lives

Awake like me

In light of day

I know I'll pay

will pay

For sleepless nights
