what does anyone have to say about this song I wrote?

keep in mind, I write vocal harmonies like Simon and Garfunkel, so these are not intended to be pop. anyways, it doesn't have a name yet, like many of the songs I have written.

The moonlight seeps through my window

But it's crowded out by my lamplight

I wore down the road chasing a glow

I watched an empty day fade to night

Why can't I sleep?

Wandering deep

Through the midnight's keep

I stagger

My eyes may shut, though I can't sleep

And I hope that my slumber comes soon

There's a memory that I must seek

Yet I know that it cannot be true

Why can't I sleep?

Lonely thoughts creep

In the midnight's keep

They hold her

The moonlight seeps through my window

Now the hesitant pen comes to write

Life's loneliest songs like the winds blow

Let my silent ways kiss me goodnight

Let my emptiness hug the moonlight

I know. I was always a more melancholy writer...

Update:

well, it's about that point in a relationship when you realize that you will never be able to relate to the other person, and so it ends. and, therefore, you feel empty and can't sleep, and all you can do is chase the memory that slowly fades away. it's more about chasing a feeling than not being able to sleep.

Update 2:

yes, I can admit I do now see the flaw in those stanzas. thanks

Update 3:

and, though you think it's deep, I have heard much deeper. look up the lyrics to "The Sounds Of Silence" or "A Poem On The Underground Wall"

    Not bad... I really don't think this stanza belongs...

    Why can't I sleep?

    Lonely thoughts creep

    In the midnight's keep

    They hold her

    I think "lonely thought creep" and "they hold her" sounds choppy and doesn't fit as well... other than that... pretty good... the lyrics can definitely be considered deep!
