No Sleep Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Ashes to Ashes
Days become night
Watching it all pass by me
Losing hope, die, I might

Dreams of the Sea
Wanting to hold the stars
I drink some tea
You're much too far from me

Dead of the night
It's only 2am
Only one small light
The candle shines bright

Sitting on my bed
My room surrounds me
Yet, I feel, I'm not here
This is not my home

On my closet shelf
There sits an elephant
A nice stuffeed toy
I get up and shut the closet door

Open the curtains
Starlight shines above
Standing here wondering
Are we still in Love?

Waking up, you on my mind
Hopeing that some day
I wake up, and it'll be you I find
Maybe someday

Turn on the radio
I hear a song
Something to remind me
Of my front porch...

Little Aliens. LuckyDuckys.
It all turns to dust
white socks Singing cards
Sit on the roof, watch the stars

Listenng to your voice
Thought I had a choice
But now I know the truth
I'll never be able to forget you

From now til the day I die
Will I still dream of you by my side?
If I marry someone else
Will it be you I otherwise see?

Thoughts of you surrounding me
Crying, Glad, you can't see
Cuz, something tells me
Tonight, I'll have no sleep
