No Sleep. Poem by Eman Awad

No Sleep.



I don't sleep,
i really can't sleep out of thinking.
Falling deep,
and i'm unaware like i've been drinking.
But i call out to strength,
the strength that i was known for.
My life never had a length,
till i fell in the emotions core.
My life got measured by,
the times when i see the one i loved.
And those tears i cry,
as i waited to see him and fly above.
I touched happiness and i saw no ends,
i thought that with love i'll live forever.
Then i realised he lies and he pretends,
but i ignored all so that we can be together.
And then love became sleepless nights,
and pain whenever we are together or apart.
Love became sadness and endless fights,
our love became such a sorrow to my heart.
But no one is guilty for loving so deep,
how am i to ever know he wasn't the one?
I've been through dark nights with no sleep,
and i thought that he is the light of sun.
So what? i got swept away,
then what lovers do other wise?
So what? i loved him more every day,
and i wasn't able to see the lies.
Got carried away and never read the signs,
but i'm trying now to get over his love.
I should've kept the distance and never crossed the lines,
that i know and regretful i'm thinking of.
I'll forget and forgive that i'll do,
and my distance i shall keep.
With god's help i will get over you,
and then no harm in no sleep...
