#lackofsleep
Inspired by my boyfriend that made a comment on the way he look due to the lack of sleep What can I say I'm a poet at heart Though I don't do it everyday But is an art. Morbid I can be Even to point something out That is me You need sleep without a doubt Today the way you look You look like carp So stay away from Facebook It is a trap

A 5 minute poem
I got three hours Of sleep last night And the one day Something new Or exciting happens I’m too tired So when I notice you Starting to stare at me From across the room Watching you find ways To touch me Brushing my arm as you go by Moving your knees Back and forth Until ours touch But I was too tired To think about you All I could think about Was my cozy bed Waiting at home for me And now Writing this poem I realize that maybe… I should try to get more sleep

Too Tired
The gardeners are too noisy in the morning I can't stay asleep I hear the chainsaw's screams I feel the rose's pain My head throbs from not sleeping Long nights buried in books Cold nights wrapped in blankets The cats fight and the babies cry while I let the shower run hot Chest burning Suffocating breaths in thick steam I went to bed early My hair still wet I closed my heavy eyes Searched my pill box nothing
