Insomnia

Some of these nights are better than others
But even the best ones are bad
Mostly they’re all just like one another
Waves on an ocean of sad

Insomnia does to my body
What losing you did to my mind
Amnesia is such a clever hobby
When I need to convince myself I’m fine

The hazards of love are not unexpected
The proof is right here in my eyes
So if my woe can go undetected
My smile is a potent disguise

I’d rather have nightmares than nothing
The latter is all that I’ve found
My emptiness once had a boundary
But now it’s got depth without bounds

Mine is a moon that no one can fathom
The sun is nowhere to be seen
All of the nights unite as a chasm
And swallow the days in-between
