Sleep

sleepless nights

i don't want to dream

because lately,

they've all been the same

you, me

the sound of your guitar strings

and my mediocre voice

attempting to sing

my clothes still smell

like your colonge

i still feel your lips

even though i'm alone

your words still linger

from the confessions you said

when we were alone

intertwined in your bed

i can no longer function

i need some rest

with you in my arms

and my head on your chest

just for a night

i don't want to weep

just for one night

i want to sleep

I like the rhythm , but maybe you could use stronger vocabulary to make your writing stronger
