Sleep
Yes sleep
My desire
My regret
My dream and my wish
You are expensive for me to buy but
Tempting enough to deny
I want to welcome you with open arms
Because of all your charms
I know You wont do me any harm
But We are not on good terms

The author's comments:

Not being able to sleep is such torture!

Your body is tired but your mind is active!

You want to but You cant!

You ask yourself why you and not others?

But that doesn't make any difference and you will never get an answer!!

i have never been able to sleep. how often has a nonpoetry version of that run thru my mind on repeat? in fact the words 'i should be sleeping if I want to pull off 5 hours of sleep' end up distracting me from falling asleep. and my dad falls asleep in 10 seconds! and my mom in 10 minutes! how is it fair?!
