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

Author's Note

This literally took 5 minutes. I hope its good and you like it.

this is really good and full of emotions

[Poetic Beauty]

Many times we do not know what we have lost til it is gone and out of reach. I know that feeling of clinging to an article of clothing for comfort. Just to smell their scent. It doesn't change when you get older. We as women all do it at some point.

I really do like this. The awful heartache of breaking up and dreaming of somehow getting back together again. Such emotional torture!

I love the imagery of wearing his sweatshirt and smelling the scent.
It's funny how everyone has there own signature scent.
Even the memory of that scent takes you back
to when your days together were good ones.
Lovely poem.
