sing me to sleep

vision blurs from
staring at the red
bright red numbers
of my alarm clock
telling me its way
too late to be up
and doing nothing

i would be talking
yeah i would be
on the phone with
you telling me
i talk too fast
because i think
too slow

so i sit indian
style and say
your name
slowly
sometimes i think
too fast

i only verbitize
the facts and
hope that you
understand that
i feel too. but
i dont know what
to say to you.

i can't sleep
and i can't dream
because i'll cry
i can't sleep
because i can't
wake up alone

and i was wondering
well i really was thinking
until it turned to wondering
and then i thought of you
and i thought maybe
you would sing me to sleep?

Author notes

i have insomnia.
not to be confused with
amnesia.
