Loud
I.V.
Drip drip drip
Nurses wake me up
Tell me about sleep 
Important too
Now I’m up
Wide awake
Bleep bleep

Exciter

the ride home.a bumpy road.i saw her,next to lowes.what a doe i thought,i bought 
her inches,now she pinches me sides.eyes wide awake,i fake the night.

A hundred miles

I looked close —
Through the earth's leaves

It all wakes_
From a blink
The shattered Pleiades

rising; The moon-shadow
Encircling;wide awake n the dark

I'Ll Kiss You

I dream about you
wide awake
in my arms

It’s the last time
I sleep alone
dreaming of you
in my arms

I’ll kiss you
every day and
every night

Goodnight

Anticipatory

the anticipatory

Gut wrench
sweat stench
teeth clench
mind race
feet pace 
white face
hands shake
wide awake
cant take!...

....my mistake its not so bad.

Wedge of Hope

Yet whilst ajar, my hopes are wafer thin,

as door is slight, then wide awake am I

constraint of dismal days without reply

hopeful that if somehow, light shines in.

 Now I see clearly
 My sleepy eyes pierced darkness
 Dawn's light now shines in

a young man

a young man took his lit' son to the lake
said "don't go near the water for my sake"
the ground soon bid a farewell
into the water he fell
now the youngling is fully wide awake

God Be Sure To Bless Us and Keep

God Be Sure to Bless Us and Keep

God be sure to  bless us and keep,
From sky up above  to ocean deep;
Animals graze;
God praise,
When wide awake or went to sleep.

Premium Member Horror Film

The horror of the film frightened me
Favorite dad was the bad guy
I was terrified to earn
May never sleep again
Unexpected twist
Wide awake now
Scared to death
Nightmare
Damn!

Dawn

a big full moon
a coyote yowl
in the tree
a hooting owl
a warm night
and I can't sleep
counting sheep
does not help me
so I lay here
wide awake
knowing soon
the dawn will break

What a Life

Floating on fluffy clouds
Soaring like there's no tomorrow
Entering the outer limits
Where anything is possible
Back to real life
I'm off the cloud
I'm on my pillow
And I'm wide awake

Hidden Tears

Learn to cry 
with hidden tears
Be afraid 
and show no fear

Be wide awake
And pretend asleep
Scream in your head
Don't make a peep

Smile and laugh
Put on a show
Die inside
No one will know

Do You Care

Does my name cross your mind when it's 3am and you're wide awake cuz you couldnt sleep that night and do you see my face in the day every time you close your eyes am I there or do you even care
Form: Lyric

From Body Sin Shall Shake

From Body Sin Shall Shake

Each new day when I am wide awake,
Sun comes up and morning will break;
Flowers flourishing;
Food so nourishing;
God from body, all my sin shall shake.

Snoring

I call it purring when it’s convenient
to me — the soft, gentle sound of you asleep.

But in the middle of the night, with your
nostrils roaring and me, wide awake, 
is when I call it
snoring.

Restless

I close my eyes and try to sleep
I hope it will be sound and deep
But here I am still wide awake
First dark of night and then daybreak
I've tried so hard to get some rest
So I can rise and do my very best

4:00 Am

4:00 AM
I'm wide awake
I've been to the bathroom
had ice water and 
three 
miserable
hot flashes
next to me
husband snores softly
satisfied
sleeping so peacefully
I watch the fog as light comes

Weather Love

It seems like the clouds cry on the same nights as i do
It seems like the sun smiles on the same nights as i do
So why does the moon sleep when im wide awake
What happens to my heart as the weather breaks!

Insomnia

laying wide awake
in the latest hours of the night.
wrapped in the arms of insomnia.
cant close my eyes
scared of what i'll dream.
things aren't what they seem.
stressed beyond belief
need some kind of 
Relief.

The Witching Hour

3:00am; The hour of old souls & deep thinkers.
Dreamers though we're wide awake.
Loud hearts & silent eyes, our every thought the night to take.
Bewitching ours, the Witching hour, what mystery awaits.

The Mummy

In a tomb so thick air can't escape
The mummy lies wide awake

His royal skin shows little decay
His features in an expression of dismay

Caught in his casket of eternal gloom
He waits to be relived of his eternal doom

Premium Member Nutmeg's Plea

I sit quietly on your spice shelf,
You notice the others, never myself, 
a humble tin of ground nutmeg. 
Please hear me.  I don't wish to beg. 
I wait here, nightly, wide awake - 
please put me in your pie or cake.

Sleeping Wide Awake

Time does not
Have to pass through the hands
But through absorbent eyes
Extending hours
With their gaze
Would the hands, the eyes,
The gaze exist
If it weren't for
The beholder?
I am real as I can take
I'm sleeping wide awake
