found myself falling asleep after 3 am then you came and woke me up shortly at 5:41 shouting i've never liked harsh good mornings i can almost hear you say "stop oversleeping" but how do i tell you "i barely slept" how do i tell you "there are demons that keep me up at night" and "they all had your face" how do i tell you that one time i dreamed of you walking on the beach holding hands with someone else i couldn't breathe when i woke up the sound of me drowning in the sea of our tragedies kept playing like a broken record at the back of my head i can't remember the last time i had to sleep at night without having to worry about the next day maybe it was before that evening-- you came home drunk i read a text from your phone that said "Take care. I love you." from a number that isn't mine lately i've been staying up too long long enough to let the lights from my consciousness die out just so i won't notice the demons that wear your face play hide-and-seek beneath my lids every time i close my eyes
