Can't sleep.

by david-nolan

6 AM, but I woke up yesterday. I go to call her, but she's not awake, anyway. At this time, I'm the only one awake. And I just can't forget her , for heaven's sake. 6:05 My alarm goes, but I'm already up. I drift off, almost, but not too much. I close my eyes, and see her face. I pull up the covers, and feel her embrace. So I wont fall asleep, dream, or close my eyes. Not until my unconscious mind can realise: That I'm tired of being awake in a life that gives nothing and only takes; and that I'm tired of not being able to rest without being reminded that the best thing that happened to me is gone, and now I have no one. I am lost, but I think I'll be okay. 6:15 AM and it's a brand new day.
