you can't sleep

you can't sleep

A Poem by Sarah McKeever Hitt
"

not this time

"
You can't sleep so you call me
wanting to pass your waking late night hours
with my endless devotion
but not this time.
You say the same words
that have grown old months ago
hoping that the magic was still there
but it isn't
You assumed that I would be happy
to open my hands and hold them out
for the scraps you drop from your bed
but I am not
You know I am slowly moving on
and that your status of king
is being downgraded to banished servant
but you don't admit it
You have to stop coming around
f*****g up my nights and therefore my days
with your neverending game of cat and mouse
but you don't.
You can't sleep so you call me
wanting me to pass your waking late night hours
with my endless devotion to you
but not this time.
