Go To Sleep
To the girl writing poetry at 2 am
Stop
You are beautiful
You're like the moon if the moon ever came down to earth
You are more precious than a single moon beam shining down through my open window
at night as I lay there wishing for sleep to come
tossing and turning trying to find the power button to turn off my restless mind
You
You are beautiful
Your mind is beautiful
And I know you write these poems because it is your way of bleeding
and these words that you bleed flow and ebb in way that makes me jealous
That makes me awe you
And in the morning I know
You'll feel refreshed and light
But dearie
Put the pencil down
Put the paper up
It is now 3 am
Go to sleep
