Goodnight and Good Luck

Goodnight and Good Luck

A Poem by Naomi Bloom
"

Insomnia, paranoia and longing.

"
Documentaries and conspiracy theories keep me awake 
All the stories of the dead from the past make me shake 

I lie awake hearing about cruelty around the world 
It makes me shudder and squirm 
I want to stop but I can't 
I'm a morbid book worm 

I want you here with me, Martha my dear 
Make these visions of heads dissapear 

I need to be with the ones I love 
Even the ones I'm in love at 
I'm so fond of sleeping 
But I don't want to die for that 

I watch you across the black jungle 
Of lights and sound and drum and music 
Wish you goodnight 
Wish you would love me 
Wish you goodnight 

I wonder what demons will appear as soon as I close my eyes 
Maybe some truths are better as lies
