endless night
Sleeping beside you, itchy sheet
Tossing and turning, on my feet
Soothing upset, lost my focus
In my ear, screaming locus
Flip my pillow round and round
Lost the comfort I once found
Hot and sweaty, restless night
Aggravation with all it’s might
Timeless slumber I am willing
To look at me from the ceiling
Far away in deep sleep
Rested time I can’t keep
Eagerly waiting to drift away
To a place where I can’t stay
Stop my mind but it is racing
Lost the dream I was chasing
Late at night, early morning
My red eyes, they are burning
My fingers tingle my legs are aching
Where’s the sleep I should be waking
Blinding sunshine raping the dark
Speeding bullet hits the mark
Completely exhausted, truly tired
Barely living, up and wired
So this day just keeps going
Lack of sleep and it’s showing
So I’m shit faced once again
Lost this fight , I couldn’t win….
