"Nights Like These" Category: Poems
The trees sway, and all I can think of is where you are. These nights I can't sleep I picture you, In my embrace, in my arms, holding you close. The sound of crickets is deafening, When all you have to hear is the sound of the bustling world replaying in motion. The absence of your voice leaves me to lie awake tonight.
These are the pieces of my heart layed out before you in your dreams.
Staring at the ceiling to go blank becomes the only thing that gives me closure, These nighttime distances soak my thoughts in anguish. These summer midnights empty arms, Empty veins
I can't sleep without you.
The night makes its way to ten, and I still think, Maybe overthink. Time is only taunting me, Every second. Keeping record of each hour, By the count it becomes three.
Writing notes you can't even read, It's the only thing that gives me closure. Your lips are nowhere near me and I can't take it. These summer midnights, empty arms. Empty veins.
I can't sleep without you. Yeah I can't breathe without you.
These are the pieces of my heart, Among the trees, they belong to you. Amidst the blue sky in your dreams. In your dreams, In your dreams, In your dreams tonight.
Closing my eyes to picture you, Smiling and laughing, it helps me to find closure on these summer midnights, with empty arms. Empty veins.
I can't sleep without your voice.
