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

[Fy Cecilia]

5minutes, huh? Am afraid of what you'll come up with in an hour!;-) This was good!

The title itself is beautiful, that's what dragged me in.
Lovely work.

This was bitterly sad and it makes someone realize how precious that other person can be even after the mistake has been done. I love the line, "I curse myself for not trusting you" because it shows one of the reason they walked out. Those dreams are the reflections of regret and the hope to rebuild what was broken. The sadness that comes within can brew anything but losing the most important person and yet be reminded by them is the most painful thing. Nice write.

Oh the scent in the sweatshirt love.. it breaks my heart every time.. when all you have to hold on to is bits and pieces.. An excellent write on describing those moments in life..xx

[blakjassy]

i have done that before... put on an item of clothing to be able to have their scent close to me as i drift off to sleep. And i can relate to the sleepless nights pent worrying or wondering as well!

Smell is a powerful sense that can bring up all kinds of memories and feelings!
