To Wake Me Up

To wake me up Is easier said than done. It begins with a sweet song Played on the small speaker Of my iPhone. I shut it off and roll over. Still asleep. Ten minutes later, My digital alarm clock Begins to beep a most Aggravating sound. I smash the button down. Still asleep. Five minutes pass and then My analog alarm clock Viciously shakes a small ball Back and forth between bells. The clock falls off my nightstand And I’m forced to get up and grab it To shut it off but, I get back into bed. Still asleep. Finally, my love kisses my forehead. “Honey, it’s time to wake up.” I open my eyes and They are glazed over. We kiss. Awake.
