When Sleep Never Comes

 

When Sleep Never Comes

 

Those nights when I can’t fall asleep

When I toss and turn in my bed

When my eyes close but my mind does not

I call you, at 3:00am

You’re so groggy from sleep

But you set aside your time

And dedicate to mine

 

Listening to the deep even tone of your voice

It plants a small seed of calmness

That washes over my mind

Putting me in the most peaceful state

 

And for once

I can feel my body become less tense

I can feel my voice soften

My breathe rhythmic

Even and Slow

I can feel sleep creeping around the corners

But only when I hear you

 

I can sleep

When my thoughts can lie inside of yours

Good night, my baby, you say

But I have already risen from my mind

And fallen asleep

Aw, this was a sweet poem. Made me feel kinda fuzzy inside. (x
