I Can'T Sleep Poem by Aphet Mbutao

I can’t sleep, there are just too many things running
through my mind;
I think my heart is blurring my vision, but I was always
warned that love is blind
..
I lay staring at a dark ceiling making pictures out of
shadows, as the world around me is asleep;
Love has taught me to reap what I sow, but I just sow
what I reap
..
Whispers in my ear leave me tossing and turning;
Love has left me feeling like a boy who still has to do
so much learning
..
Behind closed eye lids my mind is still wide awake;
I have lived my life without regrets, but I have made
more than one mistake
..
My phone is on silent, so I wouldn’t even know if
someone was calling;
Love has dragged me under its spell, but I didn’t know
how deep I was falling
..
Night time is so quiet, no sound of traffic, nobody
knocking on my door;
In a few hours the sun will rise, and I wonder what
tomorrow has in store
..
I wish I could sleep so I could dream about skies
coloured in blue;
It doesn’t matter if I am awake or asleep, as all I can
ever think about is you
..
I have lost all sense of time, is it really late, or is it really
early, I really can no longer tell;
I am trapped in a never ending night, and this bed has
become my cell
..
If love was this ink then I am drowning in the deep;
I have so many questions running through my mind,
and the first one is
Why can’t I just fall asleep?
..
