insomnia

my brain is eating itself and all that remains are thoughts of you

By g.m.t Published 3 years ago 1 min read

5:45 am arrives too soon

losing sleep

wondering if you're savoring

the last moments with the moon

kiss her goodbye

she's not ours to keep.

running myself ragged fighting my subconscious

i dont want to dream of you

sink into my mattress

close my eyes, and feel my body shut down

listening to the playlist i made you

you dont know the sound

you just wanted to know you had my attention

i patiently wait

as you kept me attentive

a comfortable, slow, suicide

wait for the sun

to bathe in its light

just the way you taught me

but did i ever really do anything right?

wait for the mourning

to salute all its glory

convince myself

losing you will never get boring.
