I Lay Awake

I turn off the light,
At the still of the night.
I surrender my sleep-
Was it that I had too much caffeine or is it that tonight I am featuring in one of your dreams?

Insomnia has got a hold on me,
now my mind works more than it should and manufactures millions of unnecessary thoughts,
at this moment:
You, Your body, Your warmth on this merry less mattress is where you need to be.

Hours ticking away
Here, in this boundless bed I lay awake,

Still surrendering my sleep.
The key locked into the keyhole of the bedroom door
As confetti after a wedding, so my clothes from the day before lays astray on my bedroom floor.

This bedding, within the covers and sheets-
I toss and turn until I'm tangled,
In a struggle to find out how long I have to stay up trying to find the best dose-off angle.

My solution would be to have you here,
For the only way that I can receive my rest is to feel you near.
