PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It has to be perfect

not a crease in the sheets

not a shadow out of place

I'll remake it again

and again and again

Then maybe I can sleep

and it annoys me

how my heartbeat pounds

in my ears

And I lay here

with eyes wide open

and I watch the time pass

Try not to look at the clock

and the hours creep past

Monotonous

Oh Shit- I looked again

Monotonous

watching the sky lighten

to grey then blue and black again

and I torture myself with

memories

Memories of anything but you

and pretend you don't matter

that I don't know your name

and never did

and I don't sleep

for fear that I may dream

of you
