No Sleep

How can I sleep?
When it's raining in my head
And the thoughts of you lingers in my brain,
Like a single thunder moving behind a single cloud
Can't see you, can only hear.

How can I sleep?
When it's a constant sound of waves crashing into a wall
As if nature was divided
And is fighting to be together again.

How can I sleep?
When the very silence of the room
That is the loudest of sounds I will hear
And the chills of my heart stimulates an assumption of fear.

But wait!
Hear that?
of course, you don't!
You wouldn't even stop to hear the sounds,
Melody some might say,
Only!
That's just the sound of my heart when you're around.

But!
How can I not sleep?
When it's the same thing
Over and over again,
Maybe one should seek comfort in it
And live by the sounds.

Then again,
It's just a dream and for now
I Just Can't Sleep!!!
