sleepless nights
Learn more about other poetry terms
There's just too much of the world in a dayTo simply abandon for a broken sleepThe rain is tempting and absurdHushing and freezingLike the woman all the lonely things yearn for and never haveThe darkness, the other mistress;My bed's a pit of pleas
Drooping eyes struggling
To catch one last glimpse of a
Conscious, restless world
The clock ticks,
And the hours go by,
Even though the darkness doesn't abide.
You wait for the dawn,
Your eyes red and drawn,
but your mind is a turmoil,
Reqeusting,
Demanding,
I can't sleep but thats ok
Yesterday's become today,
Thinking about all I've had
Insomnia is not so bad
But each new dawn's a passing day
And passion has avoided me,
Still can't sleep,
Imagine you were young again.
Your parents told you to go to sleep.
You would never listen.
you stayed up.
Just.
To imagine.
Make a wish for me
When the stars fill up the sky
As the hours pass you by
Dream a dream for me
think of only love
when the stars above
are winking at the moon
that's shining on your pillow
