Sleep Escapes Me

By Shashama

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sleep escapes me Losing precious hours Thinking Wondering Or maybe hoping Sleep avoids me I am so very tired Tossing Turning Or maybe listening Sleep shuns me I am awake, restless Looking Hoping Just to fall asleep Sleep hides from me Forsaking what I need Dreaming Waking Sleep escapes me Losing precious hours Thinking Wondering Or maybe hoping And starting againSigh...can't sleep much lately...
