Sleepless Nights

[Underground_Network]

I sit here wide awake,
Pondering the meaning
Of you and I and I and you.

I sit here with my eyes wide open,
With my eyes bleeding red,
And my mind running low
On oxygen
And thoughts.

I dial your number again and again,
You don't pick up.
I put the phone down,
And try to close my eyes,
But they just won't shut.

I put my fist to my chin,
And a stoop real low,
And I wonder why
You and I can't be,
And why I can't sleep.

I lay back on my bed,
The world around me turns from
A world of ROY G. BIV
To a world of colorless nothingness.

My eyes stay open.
But all I see is darkness.
I don't see you.
I don't see me.
All I see is darkness.

...Curse these sleepless nights
