trouble sleeping

[SillyGreenMeep]

i'm awake
and uncomfortab le
opening my eeyes to
to another new day
it takes me another
half hour to convince myself to rise
and in this time
between my
belly and my bed
i fondled my phone
lost there between the sheets
resting next to my body and
mind. its funny that in the same place
i lost all three
and collected them
almost unwillingly
and somehow my fingers had the nerve to dial
nervously your number
like my body is begging me
once again
not to let me
be lost to myself
and left alone.
i've grown used to your candle
and its flickering light
illuminating the room
where your shadow looms
over my body
a scene i've become accustomed to at night
and something just doesnt feel right
now when i sleep at home
like my bed is a battleground
and my blankets are the bad guy
i toss and turn ...
fighting to keep my eyes closed
cuz being absent of your arms reach
doesnt feel so bad when i'm asleep

Pretty good, I can relate, but then I question when it's over with when I'm done making myself feel bad: Was the relationship all that worth it? Anyway, good word usage, I liked it.

my bed is a battleground, and my blankets are the bad guy'...awesome image
