Lay Myself Down To Sleep Poem by Michael Lee Buchanan

If i lay myself down,
and go to sleep
All these thoughts,
will my loneliness keep?

Someone once told me,
its easier to say i love you
than to mean the words you say
But looking back it ended the same way

The lies put distance between us
and the truth was indistinct
How could I believe a word that she said
How could she not see how much I bled.

I sat down and wrote letter after letter
hoping to make truthful words
But sorry just isn’t enough
And the truth just doesn’t flow

Like all the lies,
that you told
and wanted me to know
like a movie, like a show.

Like you wanted the world to go,
and keep on turning with you in the center
but the world is cold
and your too heartless to make a difference

I cant even say goodbye
because i never said hello
abducted by the intentions
of a vile disease

That has brought me upon my knees
oh i beg, end it for me
and please don't let me see
tomorrows lights gone dim.
