My Thoughts: While You Were Sleeping

I've been MIA for a long while and I probably will be for an even longer while. Thought I'd leave you with an important piece of me (mine).

While you were sleeping
I died inside
I lost the faith
I abandoned my pride

While your eye movements became rapid
My soul became vapid
I lost it like I never had it
While you were sleeping

While your eyes were closed
I composed this prose
Hoping one day you would know
Despite my actions, I loved you so.

Although my selfishness doesn't show it
I loved you more than you know, kid
But I had to reap it 'cause I sowed it
While you were sleeping.
