Everlong Nights

You know, you're still my lullaby,
The place my slumber lies.
Your words, the swaying mobile
that danced above my eyes.

Now that you're gone,
so is my rest.
I close my eyes in vain.
Wide awake I spend my nights
with walks down memory lane.

Nocturnal now, like wolves at hunt,
while you remain the sheep.
I'm still here counting
endless minutes,
I don't get to sleep.
