Nursery Insomnia

Goodnight, goodnight.

While you sleep ever so tight,

I’ll be here

waiting

for a soft sleep to embrace me


 

It doesn’t come for the cautious

Instead I’ll hold you so close

and rock you so sweetly

back

and

forth

do you ever miss those moments

where you could sleep soundly before?

  • She is Disorder

    “Stay away,” they’ll say

    “She doesn’t think right,”

    “She has horrible visions,

    incomprehensible to the mind.”


     

    She is disorder

    She is me

    A single thought blossoms

    into sweet insanity

  • The Monster

    A moment you can’t make

    a feeling you can’t shake

    I am the monster

    they tell you is fake


     

    I am the apathy

    leftover from hate

    I’m what they hate

    that’s what they’ll say


     

  • The glow of the TV

    Do you remember the time

    that you and I

    spent in front of the TV?

    We watched Disney cartoons

    and the world around us

    stopped.


    I remember 

    when nothing else mattered

    and we could just be.
