Still Awake

Ateq • 53 followers

Yet again I lie here awake.
Waiting for sleep.
I pray for goodness sake.
Soon I'll be in a slumber, oh so deep.

The night engulfs me.
The sheets surround me.
I'm as comfortable as can be.
So why does sleep elude me?

I'm not meant for this nocturnal life.
I need the light of day.
This insomnia is causing me so much strife.
I'm so tired, I'm running out of things to say.

Before my body clock goes into a complete tailspin.
Let me close my weary eyes.
I'll pull the covers up to my chin.
And I'll try to get some sleep before the next days sunrise.

This pillow feels so soft. These eyes they weigh so much. But for some peculiar reason, To the waking world I clutch. There is no logic for it. My mind won't simply still. I'm going out of my head.

It's early in the morning Or is it late at night. Either way, I cannot sleep, I know this isn't right!.

Together we lie, side by side, Come closer... *R-i-p.* "what's that?" Toss. Turn. Pull away. *Riiiiiip* Don't move, argh, "Shh, its just the cat." *drip*drip* now the fucking tap... Groan.

Drip drop, drop drop, When your in bed at night, Groaning, you get out of bed, And switch on the bathroom light.
