Her

The tap drips
A steady beat
On my patience

The clock ticks
A rhythm
On my last nerve

A fly buzzes
A repetitive tune
On my sanity

Insomnia calls
My coffee is cold
My cigarette burns out
Forgotten in the ashtray

I try to recall
What you’d whisper in my ear
Words that helped me sleep
Can I remember your words at 3am?

Insomnia calls
I want to sleep
I want to dream
It’s only of you anyway

I'm so tired
I can’t sleep without you
I want to call you
Can I remember your number at 3am?
