Who needs sleep

A cry in the night
Two full years of broken sleep
- Happier than ever

A wonderfully concise poem that holds exhaustion and joy in the same breath. The final line transforms two years of broken sleep into a tender expression of love, suggesting that some of life’s deepest happiness arrives with its own beautiful chaos.
