Sick to my stomach
Thinking about you
Wide awake in bed
What more can I do

You invade my thoughts
You crash into my heart
Wreck my sleeping patterns
Tear my mind apart
found this in my drafts
Melodie Fowles Jan 2018
The stillness in the night
When you fight that sleepless fight
Will drive you insane
From dusk till early mornings light

The demons dwelling in your head
Are all screaming to be fed
Fears and insecurities on repeat
Nothing will be left unsaid

On and on it goes
Till every raw nerve you expose
And you're begging on your knees
For your mind to just close

But insomnia's a *****
It'll make you cry
And every muscle in your body twitch

Till you can't keep still
And yourself you want to ****

For just a moment of peace
And some sleep
Your minds only release.

Crumbled teeth
Fear and loss
Please let my body down

LED
Mumblings
The only way I drown

Anxiety

Anxiety

I'll never get to sleep.

My friend I lay here
Alone
Hopelessly in love with you
Holding back with despair
Imagining as if you were right here
To love and caress me while I'm in fear and certainly more than just my peer

Every aspect of you
Every expression of you..
Your just so perfect to me.

To have feelings of breathtaking ache in my  mind and in my heart
Just in waiting and longing for that look that comes from you

Unanswered and gloomy the outcome
Yet your always my fantasy rescuing me through my nightmares
And there's bravery just within ..from feeling for you..
And the compassion within I hold for you sustains with just a wish to share

You're rare you see and for that I don't want to let you free ..
Fear with impatience
And the devil's lies..
For we met with no reason why .
A purpose we are
And put together in this life for a reason

And even if just to be friends through life with so much love  there shall never come treason.

Say you'll never turn away
Forever have my back
Have my whole heart.
As I'm just crushing alone tonight as Im so in love with you uncontrollably unconditionally
But I'll be alright as I cuddle myself and with ease gives into resting my eyes knowing I mustn't ruin or take the chance to push us apart

..  dreamer..
Words mumbled.
Thoughts kept secret.
I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm fine, I scream
under muffled breath.
Someday
I'll get some sleep,
maybe when I'm dead.
But for now
I'm just stuck
in my own head.

"Ugh, I'm so tired
I haven't showered in forever
I'm hot and thirsty
And my legs hurt so much"

Walking next to her
I replied
"I can't feel any of that
I'm so tired
That I'm only vaugely aware
Of a tingling ache in my feet
And some blurriness in my eyes occasionally."

She laughed and said that I had transcended

I said to her
"If this is transcendence, it kind of *****"
Note to self: having two hours of sleep gotten in twenty minute bursts on a bus will **** up your mind.

Tell me
Why is it hard to be alone?
Can't or don't i love myself as much as i can love someone else?
Maybe i don't.self depreciating *******.
All i need are thoughts
that can tire my mind and put me to sleep.
I need sleep.

I feel mixed.
Its not fair.
Getting all the things you ever wanted.
And not getting the only single thing you ll ever need.
Such is the story of life. satisfaction at its greedy best you might say.
But when you lay down.end your day.rate it.
Whether it was good or bad.
Trust me.
Your heart will whisper through one of its beats.
Telling you to go and get that thing you need.
