#cantsleep poems on Hello Poetry

Shane Rowe Nov 2018

I just want to cry
I can't seem to do that lately
My mess is all bottled up inside
But the cork is ******* on tightly
Tears don't come as fast it should
What an unnerving feeling
My emotions has betrayed me
Has drained me
I am feeling nothing and everything at once
It makes the room spin slightly
A hole where the loudness started
Has grown bigger each day
Sneaking its way into my dreams
To torment me awake
I lay in silence til dawn breaks
I do not feel safe
Sleep, old friend
Come as soon as you can

It's 3 am.

A Song I Wrote Him at 3:27 a.m.

Oh you know I keep on runnin
And my heart it can’t stop thumpin
I just can’t stop

We’ve got all of these issues
Baby gets some tissues
I have to say a lot

Forgive me for the blatancy
But I could use some urgency
When I say I miss you
I mean for you to run

Give me your best
I’ll forget the rest
All these days they fly
So tell me why

I lost you a long time ago
You don’t love me like you did
Next to you I feel alone
But our house is still my home

Kiss me like you mean it
Love me I have seen it
When it’s good and it’s good
Now it’s bad so let’s go back

I’ll never get to sing to him again

insomniac

staring at the white walls
and the cardinal ceiling;
eyes closed
my body's posed
for dreams' beams
and leaps of sheep.
mind high,
i wonder why...
twitch glitch
ironic chronic
anxious atrocious
i lay awake
i can't sleep
gamble scramble
black jack
off-track
insomniac

3 AM in the morning; what to do.... who am i.... where am i..... when can i sleep?

Nighttime Thoughts

another restless night is spent
tearing through my listless day
an Angel from above was sent
she speaks in some uncommon way
our younger selves would never leave
a status quo i cant achieve
this Death is far too old to grieve
we’ve placed our bets—
now who will pay?

I think too much and I can’t sleep, so I tried writing down my train of thought and this is the byproduct. So here you go. It’s your problem now. Happy birthday.

Bye pain

Hello Destruction . The action or process of causing so much damage to something that it no longer exists or cannot be repaired.
The dark thing that creeps in my dreams to despaired the goals that was purpose for my life .
Creeps in my head and read me lies , keeping me up all night ..
tossing and turning .. tossing and turning because of my gift I see the spiritual..
I see the destruction, hello destruction
give me your name?
How many are you ?
Why me why cause so much damage when I no longer exist..
why keep trying you already ripped me to Sherds you already took my innocence....
you took everything
but my faith, my purpose
and I know you’re mad because you can’t break what’s left of me
you can’t take some **** that’s not yours
you been here what thousands of years?
You should ******* know this
you know who I am
and you wanna take it
I’ll conquer I’ll ******* destroy you
goodbye destruction.
