a lullaby for an insomniac

yerrey

let me scrap this plan
let my reflexes take the lead
helping me to blink
my eyes begin to warm
so I could feel when she’s in my sight

an insomniac when we’re apart
this is what thinking does
life-long enemy
awake, but numb
waiting for the dream
where thought drifts to sleep
feeling takes the lead
she finally puts me to sleep
her voice is my sweet lullaby
asleep, but finally alive
