10 Things I Miss About Sleep

Derelict carousel, thoughts in motion blur A ride I can't escape, dreading every lurch Warbling out of tune Imagined memories, conscious silhouette Haunted like a ghost, shadowed empty bed Whisper's grating scream Of all the secrets I've had to keep The hardest were from myself Like why am I lying awake trying to remember 10 things I miss about sleep? Eyes like a sandy beach, waiting for a wave That will never come, startled waking heart Fight or fly away Of all the secrets I've had to keep The hardest were from myself Like why am I lying awake trying to remember 10 things I miss about sleep?
