Sleepless nights (It's Two:AM)

By Kinkypoptart

I stare at the ceiling now
Like ive done fourteen times tonight
wipe a tear from my cheek
sniffle quietly
Roll over once more
May as well get out of bed

It's two AM
Im alone again
Crying again
Sleepless again
Still can't get you out of my head

I push this green ashtray
Back and forth across the table
Inhale another drag of nicotine
-I don't even smoke-
I guess i've just started
Feels so damn good

Its two AM
Im Crying again
Alone again
Still can't get you out of my head
Sleepless again

Gazing down at this bottle
I swish the contents around
Splashing against the sides
My poison
With a black and pink label
Manufactured: Tequila Rose (third bottle)

Its two AM
Im sleepless again
Still can't get you out of my head
alone again
Crying again

My toes inch up the wall
Lying on my back
Toenails once perfectly cared for
Painted a pretty pink shade
Now abandoned
Paint long chipped away

Its two AM
Still cant get you out of my head
sleepless again
crying again
Alone again

*Like so many of my works, this too is unfinished. Perhaps i'll finish it someday, perhaps ill forget about it... ehh... either way, enjoy*

    Ah, the life of somebody who has too much on their mind to sleep. Wonderful write, I can relate. If you do choose to finish this, you should tell me when it's done.
