So You Say You Can't Sleep

So you say you can't sleep well I can't either
I toss and turn like a Philly tethered
I coccoon myself in a vortex move
Racing dark autobahns in a mattress groove
Searching my muscles for a compromise
My pillows are hugged as if they're alive
I try so hard to relax_ unwind
Just a lonely tornado in a blonde woman's mind
Darkness keeps calling and whispers to me
"You can't escape this abyss for thee"

I find myself falling from atop some new world
Then end up in a twisted knee-hugging curl
My pillows surround me so I'm not alone
Then I drift on to find you and bring you on home

So you can't sleep well neither can I
Since we never parted or said our goodbyes
Or danced in the darkness
To collapse in our shadows
To be worn from night's passions
When nothing else mattered
So you have trouble sleeping
Then don't sleep alone
When sleeping together will bring us on home
It all turns to nightmares as dark shadows chide
"If wishes were horses then more fools would ride."

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
