Insomnia

I've been working overtime with no pay

I'm the only place that she seems to stay

We're supposed to be the ones in control

Yet it seems that someone has reversed the roles

And even if she falls, sleep and sound

I'll still be playing in the background

I've been running, moving, active all night

Just replaying all the wrong things she did that should've been right

Whenever someone tries to engage

She stays trapped, me her unwilling cage

She can't leave and neither can I

We're supposed to be in harmony but that is a lie

The only thing we have that is the same

Is that we only have each other to blame

And the only thing in which we cannot fight

Is that we hope this is a story, one that someone can rewrite

It's been hour or three or five, for all I can count

And all we can consider is the easy way out

But thank goodness for the heart because the only reason her soul remains here

Is because the feeling of fear

When it comes to the unknown

Not knowing what will happen when we're six feet below

I've been running, running all night

No semblance of peace, no peace inside

And when she finally drifts away

To her 'quiet' place

I'm left here running, active, moving

Stuck in this place, I've always been

And the sorrow deep in her soul has started to embed

And the only time I'll be seen

Is when both of us are dead
