What keeps me up at night

Maybe I had said...
Something that was wrong
I used these words
Put them in a song

You left me feeling like trash
I wish my memories of you would just turn to ash
I gave you my all
Just to receive no missed calls

All I wanted was your company
When I was empty
All I needed was your light
That shone form your smile so bright

I guess it's over now
There's nothing I can do
But I can't forget
All that's on my mind is you

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience
That was caused by my persistence
But you are to blame
For putting me in the spotlight
Making believe I was your fame
You are the demon that keeps me up at night

This poem should've been written a while ago but I didn't want to att the time. Today I was sitting and thinking and all these feelings suddenly rushed back to me...
Here's a little strip to lighten the mood ;)

Well penned. This is really good.

Your poem is easy to read, yet fun to read and also entertaining. I like your style of poetry. You make poetry seem easy (although it isn't for me).

Poetry is an expression, if you feel it it becomes easy ☺

Great poem, it seems that lot of people will relate their feelings in this poem while reading it, including myself.

Very true, thanks for reading :D

I can relate to the feelings, I think we all can.

We are humans it would be expected that we feel the same :D

Those who are broken hearted will be able to relate to your poem. Loved the way it rhymes. Great poem as usual.

The end of your post was funny.....it actually made me laugh! Good job. As for your poem, I know how past loves can come back to haunt you. In a way, it is a way for your mind to release things in spurts, like a pressure cooker where pressure has to be released gradually. Give it time.....eventually the most important thing is not to force yourself to forget but to gradually learn to forgive, so you can more forward. We all have a tendency to live in the past, but hurts really need to be healed by forgiving. I know in time, you'll come to terms with this and grow.

Have a wonderful week ahead! ....... Cabbagepatch

The rhythm is interesting. The message is true. Life is full disappoinment. Relationships are crashing.

Nice read.
Keep sharing! Following!!

I dont even have time to sleep anymore... Im on the pillow for 1.2 seconds before I fall out for a guess a long nap rather then sleep.. If I get 5 hours its rare...

Cool poem! I am new on Steemit... Could you tell me how I should share my poetry with the community? I just posted one of my original poems: https://steemit.com/poetry/@time2win/tones-of-black-and-blue
Thank you!

well written @xxsenpaixsamaxx ....

perhaps i am your exact opposite,
i sleep anywhere and everywhere,
i can't remember a time, when i couldn't fall asleep,
no matter what meanderings my brain dwells on,
when i retreat to my peaceful slumber,
i sleep with no worries
is that a blessing or curse, I wonder?
Perhaps we could meet in the middle ground,
the ones who can't sleep ~ your followers
and the ones who sleep a lot ~ my followers..
while you ponder and churn out beautiful poetry,
I hope we don't doze off in the comfort of your lullaby

well written ! and keep writing!

Thank you, I enjoyed your piece

an art of writing, too good :)

I am interested with all of your posts :)
