Another for my mother..
It’s been
7 years, 3 months,
2 weeks, 7 days, 5 hours,
10 minutes and 3 seconds
Since she’s been gone

And I can’t sleep

I’ve tried
Warm Milk and
Cold Chicken
Seafood
And Alcohol

I can’t sleep

I’ve tried
Extasy,
Hot baths
And
Mind blowing sex..

And I can’t sleep..

You see,
I can hear her laughter in my dreams
And her footsteps down the hall
And her whistling outside my window

I can’t sleep

The moon’s been laughing at me
My pillow is lonely
And my sheets are so cold

And I can’t sleep

The tears come
during the day
In the late afternoon
and always at night
They seem to always come at night

I can’t sleep

She’s haunting my nightmares
walking through my head
And dancing on my heart

And I can’t sleep

You see
Since she’s been gone
There is nothing to smile about
I have nothing to dream about

I can’t sleep

It’s been
7 years, 3 months,
2 weeks, 7 days, 5 hours,
10 minutes and 3 seconds
Since she’s been gone

And I can’t sleep
