An Untitled Poem

I’m losing sleep in my waking dream,
Haunted by a reflection of you,
It hurts me to remember,
This painful thing,
I don’t want to say it-
Want never to remember it-
Want naught to do with it.

But there, it’s still there,
Whispering at me,
Keeping me awake,
I want naught to do with it.

I’ll wait for now,
Sleepless,
Restless,
Thin as paper,
Waiting to recover,
Please don’t make me say it.



Wrote it in about 5 minutes, curious as to what you guys think.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks Deni and Ozma! As I said, I wrote it in 5 minutes, not giving much thought. Just wrote down the feelings and whatever came to mind at the time. Wanted a little constructive criticism from outside before I went back to it. Again, thanks

There's nowhere I can't reach.
