Can'T Sleep Poem by James Casey

Can't Sleep

I cry myself to sleep each night
Alone in the dark without any light

I fall asleep lonely and cold
You'll come for me, this I've been told

I wake up alone, there is never anyone there
Why did you leave me without even a care?

What did I do to end up this way?
Why are you mad and gone away?

You said you'd come back for me
I keep waiting and waiting, where can you be?

You tell me to trust in you and I do
And all the while a part of me screams to be with you

When you say goodbye it tears my heart out
Then you do not come back and I'm full of doubt

I guess I have it figured out, you're not coming back today
I see I'm all I've got and your a thousand miles away
