Restless Nights

RESTLESS NIGHTS 

By NOMAR KNIGHT

Lying awake in the dark

Wanting my mind to stop

Shut my eyes and you're there

Need to douse this spark

Must sleep or I'll pop

All cause you don't care

It's been months since we spoke

Miss your laughter and voice

Saw an outline of your face

Surely this is a cruel joke

This torture's not by choice

Without you life's a disgrace

Minutes turn to hours

And yet dreams run away

Voices in my head come alive

Only memories are ours

Sleep time's in decay

The hurt in me you drive

Tell me how can this end

Bring happy times back

We must keep the fight

Break this torturous trend

My heart's turning black

Please no more restless nights

Written in the middle of another restless night.
