To the friend who is hurting every night,
I know you lay awake in your bed last night, counting minutes to sunrise. Your thoughts fleeting, eyes blinking and lips puckering. I know you twisted and turned all night in your queen size bed. The folds in the sheets revealed your sleepless secret. The redness of your eyes and the blackness of the patches below said it all, your concealer failed you girl!
I know you lay awake in your bed last night, thinking about him. His enchanting smile, sugary voice and soft touch. I know you twisted and turned all night, reliving every single day you spent with him. That letter on your bedside revealed your sleepless secret. The torn pages of your diary and the cracked screen of your phone said it all, your smile didn’t convince me!
I know you lay awake in your bed last night, crying over him. The one who walked out on you, the one who left you without a word. I know you twisted and turned all night, clutching at the emptiness he left behind. The damp pillow and bleeding knuckles said it all, your excuses didn’t cover you!
I know you lay awake in your bed last night, counting minutes to sunrise. I know you twisted and turned all night in your queen size bed. I know you were awake… because I didn’t sleep either…

I like the detail of the queen-size bed. She may seem like a queen on the outside, but her real life is vastly different. Very good write! 💙
