Sleep.

Sleep.

A Poem by Rae

You.
So simple,
so meaningful.

You
buzzing through my head.
Why won't you let me
sleep?

I've waited
for what seems
like hours.
But it's not.

Seconds pass like minutes,
minutes like hours.
You slow my entire
thought process.

I don't understand it.
Let's try and figure this out,
shall we?
Let's take time.

It's been two hours.
I began thinking
at 1:48 a.m.
Do I dare check the clock...
1:49. So much for two hours.

What's wrong with me?
You never do this to me.
Why now?
I just want to sleep.
Sleep and rid my thoughts of you.
Why won't you let me?
I have to wonder...

Are you thinking of me, too?
at this very second,
are you having the same thoughts
as I am?

Or are you thinking of her?
You told me
you don't even know her
that well.
Was it a lie?

Do you know my secret,
and only want to protect my fragile heart?
Have I given myself away?
Do I give you a special look?
I can't tell.
I get lost in you
every time I try.

Every moment we spend together,
I cherish it so.
Why can't they last longer?

And again...
Why can't you let me sleep?
Please.
Just let me rest.

Please.
