Sleep

Sleep

A Poem by Makayla

sleepless nights
i don't want to dream
because lately,
they've all been the same

you, me
the sound of your guitar strings
and my mediocre voice
attempting to sing

my clothes still smell
like your colonge
i still feel your lips
even though i'm alone

your words still linger
from the confessions you said
when we were alone
intertwined in your bed

i can no longer function
i need some rest
with you in my arms
and my head on your chest

just for a night
i don't want to weep
just for one night
i want to sleep
