The Way You Sleep

These empty sleeping nights

Haven’t been doing you well.

You cry too much

At everything

And you’re tired.

You sleep

But gain no energy.

You awake several times

Every night

And you can’t fall back asleep

Unless you cry yourself to sleep.

I am learning to keep these short on your page of poems now. If you don't write back on a poem or in letters, I'm not sure why you would want me here. I'm not here to vent. I'm here because your writing and friendship sounds and feels like something I want to have. : ) This is a beautiful poem, Taylor. I say, go for a walk and there are some "other" ways to de-stress before bed that would wear you out. Explore them all.... no drugs. Drugs are nasty and turn someone into a "haunt" after they die to never rest. Forever seems quite long to me... lol xoxo -Mark
