Tag: can’t sleep

as darkness creeps

toward new light

i overthink it all

what’s done

and to be done

what lies ahead

and in my head

thoughts twist and tangle

tire me

and taunt me

as time tick ticks away

another day

and sleepless night

envious of my husband

fast asleep

in this crowded bed

dogs at our feet

but restless thoughts

won’t leave my head

so instead

i toss and turn

and fill my mind

with all but dreams

with hope

and regrets

with worries

and queries

and Italian drills

punctuated by clattering

down in the street

and still troubled lungs

that heave and squeak

so absurd

thoughts retreat!

for all i want to do

is sleep
