I've been losing sleep again.
That's because for days,
I've been laying in bed and reminiscing about your face.
The joy and the love that fills my heart when I'm in your space.
I could watch you smile all day.
Your dimples and your bright eyes in their mysterious sway,
Igniting my attention with a tender gaze.
Our calls and chats would stretch for days,
Filling my heart with pleasure, adoration and a ton of admiration.
I loved you even on your worse days
When your nose's covered in snort and your mouth's drooling while you snore
You could be covered in shit but I'd pull you close not caring if you stained my sleeves
With you it was a neverending pique of emotions and bliss
But now I'm here in bed losing my sleep
Reminiscing and thinking about your face but not with so much glee
I can't seem to shake off this feeling of betrayal so deep
Looking in your eyes knowing the trust you couldn't keep
I adored you and I thought you'd stay true
But now I think about our memories and I feel so bitter and blue
I realise I'm consumed by this betrayal
Suddenly everyone I know is a suspect and a liar
This hurt leaves me doubting and tortured by the fire
