Insomnia

How do I sleep,

When I know she's suffering?

How do I rest,

When I know her pain?

I check my email every two minutes,

I distract myself from thoughts,

I worry and worry and worry,

But I cannot fall back asleep. 

I wonder if she's crying,

I wonder if she's okay,

I wonder if I can drive,

Even though I've never tried.

Rocking back and forth,

I want her to be okay,

And my sight goes fuzzy,

Like clouds before rain. 

I try distracting myself,

But nothing works,

I can't seem to sleep,

And I can stop thinking.

Is this a disorder?

Or is it just I care?

My body is shut down,

And I'm so so worried.

I cry on paper,

My pen moves fast,

Writing out my night,

In a mess of a poem.

"writing out my night,
In a mess of a poem"

Such heart-tugging beautiful words from you. I think you're really good at making poems dedicated to a certain person since these poems usually end up expressing your feelings. They're just full of emotions. Another great write from you. :)

i agree. there's no sleeping when you're obsessing about something. perhaps it makes our adrenaline pumping and we get wired. great description for the reason of your insomnia.

This is so heart-rending and well-written! I particularly love the lines:

And my sight goes fuzzy,
Like clouds before rain.

Touching simile, very well done.

You shouldn't worry so much... I'm sure who ever this girl is, she'll be fine.
She knows she's got a few good people to talk to about whatever,
Even though shes hurting... she's trying to fix it. Trust me,
&&& i'm positive shes very greatful for such a wonderful friend such as yourself.
