4 To 5 Times A Night Poem by Scott Campbell

4 To 5 Times A Night



Forced out of sleep
A gloom, lurking feeling has done it again
Life, love, expectations, sitting on my chest,
Draining the air like a sponge
Standing up, reminding myself to breathe
Like a curse
Like a fog
Like a heart breaking, over and over
Like hearing the worst news you will ever hear
Calm returns
And I sleep
