Let Me Sleep

Let Me Sleep

A Poem by Broken.

I can't do this anymore.

Try to get people to care more and more.

This isn't what I wanted,

but I guess I don't have a choice.

Every time I try to sleep,

I hear your voice.

My body tells my mind,

"Please don't let it get to you."

But all my mind does

is remember everything about you.

I've tried to let someone know,

but they never take it seriously,

all they do is wave relationship statuses,

inconspiciously.

I can argue how it's all my fault,

but they take almost everything I say,

as a grain of salt.

Can this really be the only way to live?

I thought I had thought this through,

but the only conclusion I ever come to,

is that I can't live without you.

I look at my finger,

in all its empty contents,

I am reminded of you.

As my face truns surely blue.

But when you left,

I did too,

and there was nothing we could do.

I feel sorry for people like this, who would rather sleep thru their lives, trying to escape some bad situation, rather than doing the scary & hard work of changing what needs to be changed. Most people will endure the unendurable rather than change. You poem shows how this typical but sad choice can pound a person down into a pile of nothing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

This was painful to read. You convey well the awfulness of a breakup when you miss that person so much. When each minute of the day is consumed with thoughts of them. All I can say is, it does get better with time.
