Sleep...

By maximo

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I need sleep but yet I can’t I can’t sleep for there is too much going through my head I sleep for a couple of hours a night It's not enough Not enough for me to function I can’t clear my mind For I don’t know what it is thinking about All I know is that it is something that is bugging me Maybe it's all these new learned facts Maybe I am just over tired Maybe it is cause of all the fighting Maybe it everything that has happened running through my mine If I only knew Maybe I could sleep Close my eyes and dream Dream about life and what it may bring Dream about the happiness that may come I am tired of closing my eyes and only seeing the pain and that faceless man The one who gets close enough to the light that I can almost see his face But then I wake up in fear of knowing whom it was I don't think I ever want to know I just want to forget about my past And start life all over again I want to forget about everything and everyone And start from a fresh, clean slate For maybe at that time I will be able to sleep again.
