Exhaustion

Exhaustion              

Tired, weary eyes walking around,

The life I have come to live

In the darkness just me and you

As I lay awake talking to you,

I beg you even, kissing your feet.

Just an hour or maybe two

I start to get greedy, because

I know you are laughing.

My body is slowly drifting away.

Another place darkness succumb

As I hear the windy trees against

My windowsills.

Why again, you don’t want to leave.

Abide by the rules I toss and turn.

The pain in my back, the pain in my sides.

Goodness me I keep thinking I’m dying,

Self-consciously talking to you,

Like you a somebody.

You’ve got a hold on my sleep,

My achy body isn’t even functioning.

To fight you off.

I am going to get you one of these days.

If only it was true because tonight,

You right back taking my sleep.

Telling me have fun, exhaustion takes over me.

I am sitting with this daily...I have not had any sleep in days....I hope it change the minute my mind shuts off....To give me peace of mind..
