I can't sleep

Tonight I can't sleep
cause I hurt.
I clean and clean
but no amount of water and soap 
can wash away the pain.

I move from room to room
silently while the rest of the house sleeps
I scrub and weep
each floor I sweep
my hands are tired and worn
my heart is tattered and torn.

To soon I'm am done 
it didn't take long
now my house is all clean
But your still gone
