rolling over
my eyes open
okay it's only one
I propped the book on it's spine
oh shit it's two
I have a limit of sleep
my threshold is at three am
then I roll and roll
a weak blue light
must be dawn or is it hell
wearily I pull myself off the bed
my tender feet trudging to the bathroom
incandescent yellow light
smarts at my eyes
daydreams are not what they seem
I must be at work soon
all day I push myself
my smile drooping
so aware of the growing moon
eating at my healthy self
come on, you foolish moon
shine on me soon
I am ready for a good night's sleep
within your waning
my eyes open
okay it's only one
I propped the book on it's spine
oh shit it's two
I have a limit of sleep
my threshold is at three am
then I roll and roll
a weak blue light
must be dawn or is it hell
wearily I pull myself off the bed
my tender feet trudging to the bathroom
