of stress

the rain mimics my tears
as i lay in my bed
i want to rest my mind
but the relentless sky
blurs my thoughts
and the windows

the dull tv light
shines off the mirror i’m looking into
it makes my damp cheeks glimmer
and glorifies my sorrow
forcing me to recognize
the face staring back at me

the deep thunder
drowns my gasping moans
my breath is shortened
with every crash in the sky
it makes me invisible to anyone
who was truly listening

I have an insatiable
hunger,
yet I cannot taste
your presence
through the sickness
on my tongue...


even when you're close to me.

Why did you stop liking me
When I just started?

cozy and warm tucked into your bed
cloud filled pillows glide beneath your head
glowing twilight slowly night time falls
sweetly dreamland blissfully calls
a yawn and a stretch you start to doze
eyelids heavy begin to close
feeling relaxed from your fingertips to your toes
sandman sprinkles magic fairy dust on your nose
under the moon shining bright
drifting serenely floating light
twinkling silvery sky filled stars
illuminating rings of Saturn, earth and mars
wrapped securely in the arms of love
safely watched over from up above
guardian angels white beautiful wings
harps and trumpets heaven gracefully sings
universal harmony tranquil peace
blesses you with the most gorgeous sleep
wondrous lucidity world of possibilities
colorful streams of rainbow dreams

every time i laugh
i quickly look over at you
hoping you’d fall for my laugh
as fast as i fell for yours
