Midnight
have you ever slept
but eyes wide open
head is heavy weights empty thoughts
.
sweaty but cold
blanketed your skin
silence suffocates till you breathe so loud
.
quiet not tranquil
ears snap noises
emotions piled inside your head
scattering in spasmodic space
.
the clock is running
chasing the sun, baiting her lights
you're still trapped in the mind full of doubts
.
memories are your company
they tell stories
bringing out pieces that you buried
.
the sheep you count
rhyme with your heartbeat
the more it pounds, the harder you sleep
