My Thoughts Won't Let Me SleepA Poem by Nina Burke
Haven't had a dream in a long time
Haven't been able to sleep Let the faucets run So I can desperately weep Flooding the floor Passionate tears breaking down the doors Watching everything deteriorate into a sea of sorrow I hold my breath and sink below The ones I love are by the shore Radiating light to glisten my waters I still continue to sink farther I'm running out of time I'm trying to stay out of my mind My thoughts they sink me down My mind it spends me around The night will come And my love ones will go home Ill swim up when the shore is empty When there is no one to show me pity I live my life in darkness But this has got to die down My thoughts won't let me sleep But I have to lye down © 2013 Nina Burke |
