Another sleepless night
another night spent staring at my ceiling
checking my phone
rolling over
staring at my ceiling
checking my phone
rolling over
My eyes are tired but they will not stay shut
Im having a hard time slipping into REM.
REM is the stage of sleep where you start to dream.
I think my mind is not letting me go into REM
because it knows I will dream of him.
I will dream of him hugging me
and looking at me as if I was
his whole wide world.
I will kiss him and we will
go home and watch documentaries
on drugs, and I will be bored
and he will look at me
and turn the tv off
and ask me what I want to do
and just before we get to the bedroom
I wake up.
I look for him next to me but he is not
I remember he is gone
and tears slip down my face.
I am having another sleepless night
It is 4:30am and my body wont let me
slip into REM
My body is protecting me from
falling in love with you all over again
I am so ******* tired.
