Sleepless

Why I cant sleep

I lay in the bed with eyes heavier then the sea,
but I am wide awake, unable to sleep.
I have been this way for seven years now,
ever since I buried my one true love in the ground.
I walk the earth as if I were a cursed man,
going about my life unable to enjoy the sleeping sand.
This is the price I must pay for my lost wife,
I will forever suffer for taking her innocent life.
