Wide Awake
"Does he love me?
No, for he never told me so.
It was all in my mind,
Neglecting the signs,
As if I'm blind.
I'm accepting it now,
'Cause if his love was true,
Doubt won’t linger, but it grew.
If he truly cared, he would have shown,
And now, I would not be alone.
It's been so long, yet I am still dreaming.
My silent

Wide Awake and Sleepless
The Laws of time seem elastic
In the long insomniacal night
That expands into an eternity
With no end seemingly in sight.
It’s half past Wednesday week
By the real world’s steady clock
But in the land of the sleepless
A time check can bring a shock.
Although it seems so many hours
Since you looked to check it last
In the strange fugue

Wide Awake
It isn’t a dream when you feel wide awake
There’s only so much of this world I can take
It pulses through my veins, I’m starting to shake
Like a dream and a nightmare, but I’m wide awake
Not a dream nor a nightmare, cause I’m wide awake

Wide-Awake Napping
Fn->spacebar lights my keyboard
So I can see the keys to score
Wanted placement in the game of poetry
Top links in line so I'm not ignored
Little mouse help route my cursor
So more corrections makes things less worser
Oh I miss my pen and eraser
And the days I was an ardent curser
But today I let the keys do the

Lost Once Again--Wide Awake--In Eden's Articulate Garden
Sweet precarious slumber...
I am night falls eager muse
daylights withdrawn fiend
consuming my once heavy lids
yet--
the sleeping draught has plagued me
just as before.
If I’m quiet long enough,
I can hear the lingual effects
like listening to a voice
that won’t stop speaking
even after my tongue
has long since been tucked in for the night.
Mindless

Wide Awake
Clattering coins
forcefully flung
inside a fragmented glass jar,
doleful howls full of misery, woe
nocturnal creatures arise,
rapid rotations,
continual tornados
tedious echos beneath
a derelict railway tunnel,
nefarious lightning
strikes the thunder,
rolling immensely enraged
she roars fighter jets in fury,
disturbed bees, swarming their hive
stalking, terrorising, pestering
a solo stone plunges
down a bottomless well,
belligerent twangs
upon a jilted ukulele,
these were her hunger

Wide Awake
I'm wide awake this time
Our love's a clever crime
Running on the stairs of heaven
Sometimes, I wish I feel alive again
I'm wide awake again in your awfully bizarre shoes
I wish I can feel alive this time
It's hard to even fathom your problematic issues
Our love's an extra mile crime
An extra mile crime
I'm wide awake
I'm about to

A Wide Awake Snooze Made Me Scream
A wide awake snooze made me scream
Held me in the clutches of a well-earned dream.
An elephant in pajamas came running up fast.
He pushed me aside, and made the sign of a bast.
A wide awake snooze held me captive in my head.
I thrashed and I crashed,, and I fell out of the bed.
My dad yelled, "What's

Wide Awake Now
My impetuous pirate self-jumps up to play
I snarl and yell at her to just go away
She laughs as I hide my hazel eyes from her sight
Her faerie soul knows my heart with all of her might
I try to re-capture my delicious dream so dear
But she settles on my stomach and giggles in my ear
I guess

Wide Awake
She called out in a loud voice in what was long since then
Remembering back to that choice, what would have been
For now she was all alone with no place to hide that pain
Once the Light had shone, well, feelings are hard to feign
Falling down to her knees, her hands covering her face
She called out

Wide Awake -A Hero's Departure
Wide Awake (A Hero's Departure)
I awoke from a dream, a childlike slumber
Perfectly still, as to not let the vision
slip
Within the eyes of a child, a hero was
born
Safe, soft, a beautiful gift
But in moments of deepest despair,
No hero remained, or had existed
at all
(it would seem)
Promises of love fall flat
behind the facades, the fear of

No Light and Wide Awake
no light and wide awake
i touch you after sixteen hours
and the unrelenting pain
no light and wide awake
i relax as the vibrating
reactions of my touch
send inspiration for short
but sweet slumber to my
mind
no light and wide awake
dread dissipates as my body
rejuvenates and prepares for
the long but essential more of
the same day that keeps me
