Love Insomniac

Lying in bed 
Eyes open 
wide
I should be 
sleeping
But here I 
am thinking
Of thee

Every night 
all the time
I try to close 
my eyes 
Collapse my 
mind
Faint my 
heart
And rest my 
body
I fail, due to 
a thought of 
you

A thought 
to deep
To within
To intimate
To sweet 

My hands 
wanna 
touch u
Like how 
the stars are 
with the sky 
now
My body 
wants to 
feel before I 
sleep
I'm too weak
That I can't 
sleep
When 
emotions 
run in my 
blood
