I Dreamed Myself To Sleep

Writing prompt on being unable to sleep

I toss and turn all night

Because the thought of losing you

Is too much to handle

I grab the sweatshirt you gave me

From under my bed

And put it on

Just to have your scent on me

A scent I miss so much,

I hug myself because of the thought of you

I knew this was going to be the start

Of many sleepless nights,

I dream about all we had

And the love we shared

I curse myself for not trusting you

Its too late to apologize 

He's already out the door

I'm all alone and its a terrible storm

As I dream myself to sleep

I dream about him forgiving me

And me running into his arms

Being as happy as we use to be

But until then I sit in his sweatshirt 

And hope for the best

But until then I dream myself to sleep

Oh my gosh... i love this. =D So much emotions i can relate to! Well-written! And yeah, not getting sleep is horrible. Its frustrating like writer's block.. lol. But i hope you can get back to sleep peacefully again. Great write! I enjoyed it very much.

I remember how powerful this "scent" you mention is, and for some reason girls I'm interested in smell great. I think they did a scientific study on pheromones and such but this poem really resounded with my life and how I carried things on back in the day, on the polar side of course.

This took you five minutes! This was such an amazing, beautiful, and solemn poem. I'm surprised this took only five minutes. This was such a wonderful read, and something I could relate to. I have ached for someone so much that I was unable to sleep as well. Constantly thinking about them until I fall into a deep sleep. Another great write!

Heartbreaking, beautiful, emotional, painful, and deep. An amazing write. I could feel the heartbroken person pour out her feelings in sadness. Love sometimes does that. It can build you up or tear you down. Great write. :D

Aww this is so heart wrenchingly sad, but sweet at the same time.
It's amazing what the mind conjures up when we can't sleep, I'm the same! A writer's brain never switches off, it seems lol.
Nice work! :)

Sometimes our best poetry is created in short increments. You penned this beautifully.
