Sleepless Nights

Those were the golden days,
When away swayed nights,
Of peaceful sleep and dreams,
Spent on the hammock of ropes.

Swayed by the mighty winds,
As the moon and the stars,
Sang their share of lullabies,
Full of love and good wishes.

With the sound of harmonies,
By dexterous leaves in trees,
And the glorious hymns of fairies,
Many sleepless nights are they.

Light shone on still waters,
As the lustrous sun awakes,
Bringing in new lessons,
Of life and awaited days.

Growing old in age and years,
On the luxurious bed lies,
Sleepless nights of worries,
Depriving the dreamy eyes.

Of awe and happiness,
Bereft are the nights,
Of innocence and solitary dreams,
Many sleepless nights are they.

Words

I don't feel you anymore, so desolate without you near.
When you first came to me, I never questioned your presence.
Now that you are no more, questions are all I have left.
Why did you choose to be with me, embrace me to keep me from falling into the abyss of misery,
Forever held my hand in support and comfort, until now?
I could be alone with people all around me,
But never with you right there by my side, smiling at my foolishness and drama.
Were you always in me, residing, waiting to show yourself, at my emotional high?
You made a home out of my bruised heart,
Boosted my ego with fancy praise.
I used you, to distinguish light from the dark, hope from despair.
You were my salvation, come to free me of guilt, come to break the chains of regret.
My dreams took beautiful forms when you translated them for me.
Always found peace in your arms.
Some of the best gifts I ever received are all of your generous doing.
I wear them proudly for all to see.
You made me appealing to the world.
Seeing life through your eyes put a different spin on things.
I liked it best, when you came awake with the songs that I played.
You let me hide behind you when things got out of control,
But I was selfish.
You never asked for anything in return, only to be showcased with dignity and grace, rightfully yours.
Did I abuse your trust, your virtue? Is that why you left?
I miss you sorely with all my heart, come back to me, before I fall apart.
I am completely bereft without you.
