Wake Me Up Poem by Tribhuvan Mendiratta

If I sleep, wake me up;
You know, I can't sleep.
But my eyes shut in pain;
May give impression of sleep;
Just hiding pain;
Please don't let me sleep;
I sleep; yes, I do;
Regular hours- they say;
Why they - even I say;
But fear of loss;
Loss of what held me so long;
Echoes like a wild cry;
Wild cry of desolation;
Anguish of helplessness
Unable to prevent;
What I wish I could!
I wish I could:
Still hoping- I can!
