The kind of tired
that sleep don't fix.
Start off on my back,
force my eyes closed,
listen to my heart race,
stare at the ceiling.
Flip onto my side
and slip my arm
under my pillow,
and just listen to the wind blow
the chimes outside of my window.
Maybe lay on my stomach
and hug the pillow tight,
this feels pretty comfortable,
this position might be just right.
That's when the smoke detector
begins to chirp in the night.
I'm running out of time,
God please send me to sleep
because work is gonna ****
if I don't get this relief.
Please give me sleep.
Please.

Visions of guilt
and disappointed faces
are floating behind
my eyelids.
Memories
of embarrassment,
and past bad decisions,
line dance through
my skull.
I'm feigning sleep
while
I'm wide awake
in my soul.

Gabimi im, jo i juaji
Gabimi im që zgjedha lojë, ndërsa ti zgjodhe dashuri,
Gabimi im që lutem për sigurinë tënde, ndërsa ti lute për rënien time,
Gabimi im që të kërkova të qeshur, ndërsa ti më dhe mijëra lëndime,
Gabimi im që ti më ke tradhëtuar në mënyra të panumërta, gjëra që as nuk mendove se ishin lojë.
Por të fal, të lë pas, sepse e kaluara nuk kthehet,
Dua më shumë, jo vetëm një mbetje që e ke përkthyer si pleh.
