Why You Should Be Asleep at 01:00 am
Why You Should Be Asleep at 01:00 am
Eyes that burn,
They’re set ablaze.
Sleep my mind,
Cotton wool inside my skull.
Tiredness sewing eyelids together.
Spine of mine
Crack and dance
Like a whip at the end of this day
And the beginning of the next.
Too late for the clock
To strike midnight,
When the early morning
Rushes over my head.
Pain numbed by yawns
Stretches from my arms
Into the tranquillity
Of the dark
Outside of my widow.
Weary thoughts lull my head,
Fooling my feet,
Making them trip.
Tumbling down,
Down towards sleep
Crashing and falling
Inside of my dreams.
Tucking my exhausted soul
Around my racing heart,
Drifting away,
Floating further.
Not here.
No more.
Entered a different realm,
The world has melted away.
