I am full.
Hard to believe that when sleep lingers
in my rame eyes,
tempting to lure me to a place that
empties my overflowing heart,
but- it is true.Stress overwhelms me,
anxiety makes my heart clench.I blink furiously,
make cup after cup of piping hot coffee;
but even my burnt tongue fails to save me;
and, if I am awake, am I truly saved?Sleep offers relief to my aching heart,
but steals precious time.
When I am awake, it embraces me.
When I give in, it refuses to leave me,
wanting to stay. Forever?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~
