No Sleep Poem by hazel jackson

I lay in the quiet dark room on sheets like milk soft as cotton looking off into the darkness picturing you and me feeling the static of electricity between us.

I get no sleep when I'm thinking in such ways.

My thoughts become dangerous as they tend to wonder on their own leading me to think in restricted ways causing me to feel what isn't real but seems real in thought.

I feel my body begin to change in temperature quickly opening my eyes unaware that they had closed I look at the clock it's only 4: 15 almost time for you to return to me and leave me with more Unforgettable memories I turn into fantasies as a smile crosses my face I know how my time from now until you're here will be spent I should rest up but as I said before I could never get no sleep when more than just love is on the brain.
