my bed feels like an ocean
im swimming alone and drowning in in nonexistent sleep
ZZZ becomes synonymous with SOS, but no one is answering my plea
i am drowning and hurting and my lungs are numbing to the sounds of others that snore
dear god, save me from thy pain, as it haunts me to know that if you exist,
you leave me with the inability to do what we all crave
and that is to sleep with our eyes closed;
because with them open, we are reminded of the things that tear us apart
if i were a mermaid, i’d stay underwater forever and then some, because at least i could be swimming
in the ocean
and sleeping with the sharks
that already parade my mind
during sleepless nights
sleeping with a sharks – part…is really ‘welcoming’ haha..
