My love for you is as strong as the blue light
that is suppressing my melatonin
and disrupting my sleep.

I can’t rest after seeing you;
my mind is up all night, and even in sleep
I have less rapid eye movement than usual.

I take nearly 10 minutes longer
to slip into unconsciousness,
and am not fully alert when you’re near.

My circadian rhythm is delayed by an hour,
and I feel tired in the morning
and less sleepy before bed.

It’s hard to see how bad you are for me,
but it’s time to shut you down
before these short-wavelength emissions get to me.
