Sleepless Reminisce Poem by Allie Lusha

I’m sleepy now as I lay on my bed
Onto my pillow I rest my weary head
The stresses and the strains of the day gone before
Have taken their toll, I can’t take anymore
I just want to sleep, but thoughts race through my mind
Did I complete this, where’s that thing I can’t find
Have I sent that letter? Was that contract signed?
I get up for a drink and turn the radio on
Just at the time it’s playing my favorite song
I lay on the sofa in deep reminisce
Thinking of the you and the things that I miss
Your sweet smile when we met and our first lingering kiss
We had many good times, but it came to a fore
The timing was wrong, I couldn’t give anymore
And as I drift off in my slumber, thoughts of you caress my brow
As the music softly continues to soothe and allow
my body to succumb,
Whilst another day is looming and this dream is nearly done.
