Sleepwalk

I don't sleep anymore
I wander the apartment
Everything a reminder
I touch your things
Put on your shirt
Inhale your scent
Until finally I lay down
My eyes close
Exhausted
But my mind races
My heart aches
In this bed
Half empty
And as sleep creeps
At the edge of my mind
A sound
The lock, the key
My eyes snap
Mind reels
Heart drums
Not you, never you
A sleepy trick
Played by my own mind
Expecting you still
To climb in beside me
And live in dreams again
