    i'm awake
    and uncomfortab le
    opening my eeyes to
    to another new day
    it takes me another
    half hour to convince myself to rise
    and in this time
    between my
    belly and my bed
    i fondled my phone
    lost there between the sheets
    resting next to my body and
    mind. its funny that in the same place
    i lost all three
    and collected them
    almost unwillingly
    and somehow my fingers had the nerve to dial
    nervously your number
    like my body is begging me
    once again
    not to let me
    be lost to myself
    and left alone.
    i've grown used to your candle
    and its flickering light
    illuminating the room
    where your shadow looms
    over my body
    a scene i've become accustomed to at night
    and something just doesnt feel right
    now when i sleep at home
    like my bed is a battleground
    and my blankets are the bad guy
    i toss and turn ...
    fighting to keep my eyes closed
    cuz being absent of your arms reach
    doesnt feel so bad when i'm asleep

    Pretty good, I can relate, but then I question when it's over with when I'm done making myself feel bad: Was the relationship all that worth it? Anyway, good word usage, I liked it.
