SLEEPLESS (but not in Seattle)
SLEEPLESS (but not in Seattle)
Sleepless nights
...tossing and turning
The tip-tap
...of rain
...on the window
Like the window
...of my mind
Open when
...it should be closed
I can still see
...you
clearly
...though my eyes
are wide shut
Sleepless
and restless
That's me
...don't you see
Night time becomes day
...pulses of energy
Shooting...
Like lighting
...from head to toe
My whole being
...controlled
...consumed
...you won't hear
Me cry
Release me
Oh no..I'm caught now
Booked and hooked
..I once looked at you
...just a glance
And now...I wait
...for tired eyes
...and a never
Tired mind
To synchronize...
So I wait...and wait
Sleepless...but not in Seattle
