Unyielding Ceilings

Please

Let me sleep

Instead of memories

Playing like silent films

On the ceiling

Got the feeling you were

Always you

And therefore always the

One for me

Too early to say

And far too late

Undertaking such things

Only brings the day

Closer to me

And a lack of shutting eyes

And midnight dreams

 

Please

Let me keep

A inkling of sanity

Instead of constant

Thoughts of you

Like picture books

With few words

But every line memorized

And studied

Intricately

Not in fear of failure

Kind of in fear of failure

Mostly in fear of

Overthinking

Over loving

Overindulging in you

And to be doomed

To forever stare at ceilings
