Sleep eludes me
It's half one in the morning and I really need to sleep,
I've tried everything I can think of,even counting sheep.
I have to put up with feeling like this, every bloody night,
While you're dreaming next to me, oblivious of my plight.
I'm watching the minutes pass slowly by,on the clock beside my bed.
If you don't stop snoring soon, I'm gonna punch you in the head!

Author's Note
This poem is about my ex,who'd regularly keep me awake with his snoring. Then he'd get the hump when I slept in the spare room!!!!!

Fab, and I can relate! Mine also has very long legs that take up too much room, and he likes to steal the duvet.

Dear S,
I think this is a relatable issue the world over. I get it, a snuggle here and there but why isn’t it de rigeur to sleep in separate beds so one and all can sleep peacefully. This is a plight written with a sassy wit. Very much enjoyed (and related to) this poem. H🌷

This is true. However it really isn't helped when your partner snores,lol. Still, that was then.

I can't count the number of times I'd shake the EX awake and ask him to please roll over, he was snoring! :)
