Ode To Sleep

02/02/16 I called last night to relieve my separation anxiety from you, And you were busy which is nothing new, Did you stop to think WHY I called out of the blue? If you didn’t know then, that was your cue, Or did you forget that I have really bad anxiety too? I went to sleep anxious, I woke up anxious, I’m slowly and surely starting to lose you and my patience. Your face haunted my dreams every time I awakened, It felt as if you left me there in my bed forsaken, And your face kept haunting my dreams every time I awakened, And as I lay there I couldn’t help but feel forsaken, In a blink of an eye you were there and gone in a second. I can’t help it and it’s so unfair, Sometimes I selfishly wish that I didn’t have to care, The pain of your absence I just cannot seem to bare, I sadly shut my eyes and braced myself for the tears, It was the only way I could make my anxious thoughts disappear. I called last night to relieve my separation anxiety from you, And you were busy, which is nothing new.
