Sleep, Love, Sleep

Sleep, Love, Sleep

A Poem by A. V. Madison

There is silence here,
that I wake up to each night
I'm trying to sleep, 
but I can't close my eyes
with your words in my head
I so deeply despise
don't ask me your questions
I will be all right

Sleep, love, sleep
the night will drag on
wrap yourself in words
and wish for the dawn
wait until it's over
there's no use to fight
hold your head high in the water
a darkness so bright

Carry on, fair maiden
with eyes black as night
a diamond doesn't shine
it simply reflects
if you trap yourself 
inside these walls
you will radiate
the same effect

Sleep, love, sleep
nighttime caressing your face
it slits your throat while you sleep
while you're tender and weak
their words will affect you
in ways they don't see
the night will call for you, 
"Love, come with me"

Author's Note

Can you figure out what it means? Review what you think it means and the person that figures it out gets a taco.

I lied. There is no taco.
Guess anyways.

i'm not even gonna try to riddle it out, but i never was very good at them. i can write riddles, i just can't solve them. i'm better at words searches honestly, and making every poem rhyme. interesting read.

Ooh! So a person trying to forget someone, but that person keeps on bugging them, and the person's like, waiting for the other person to get out of there head, but they can't forget!!! :D And then the first person is trying to convince themself that they need to forget this person, but it keeps jumping out of the darkness and murdering them when they least expect it!!! :O

Okay I don't care if there's a taco or not XD I'm going to say it anyways! ^^

I first thought it would be a poem bout insomnia but it isn't.
The person is trying to sleep but always hears the words of the person she once used to love, now hates. I don't really know if I'm correct or not O.e I'm always wrong so I'm going to go with that. Yep I'm wrong I knew it. I don't get a taco.
