Twisting and turning in my bed,
still trying to find sleep,
still thinking about you again,
and it hurts.
Everytime my eyes close, I dream.
Dream of your fingers,
brushing my hair aside.
So you can whisper so softly
how much you love me,
and how you try to sleep without me,
but it hurts.
I don't want to wake up reaching for you,
when you're so far away.
My heart seems split into two,
one for him, one for you,
and it hurts.
I just turn over,
still trying not to remember
how much your kisses felt like feathers,
because it hurts.
And there I lie in my bed,
watching the moonlight flicker against
the silver ring on my finger,
feeling my heart slowly break
here without you...
and it hurts.

"My heart seems split into two, one for him, one for you." That line intrigued me, a touch of mystery. My favourite part because it make me curious though I think it's better left mysterious.
