It all reminds me of her. I have no tears left to shed, no sleep to rest my eyes. "Sleepless as I am, I am awake for love the very love I wish to awaken in you."

Sleepless nights

I heard her calling out to me,
But I couldn’t face her for my anxiety kicked in recently,
Now I lie awake endlessly,
Her voice still lingers in my memory.

I felt her presence in all my thoughts,

I’d never want to lose her—at any cost,

But oh, my dear love— I, myself, am lost,

No hope to be found, just wandering around.

Staring at my face in the mirror,

I realized my weakness and all of my fear,

All that I wanted, and all I held dear—

It was all gone, nothing left for me to hold near.

I must admit, I’m just another aimless man,

I found love, but never a true one,

And now I suffer—for the rest of my lifespan,

Sleepless, exhausted, aimless, truly a person with no plan.
