Sleep

That sudden start + the realisation
the cosy spot you lose, rolling over
Blankets pulled higher
knees tucked in
One eye open, praying it's early
Just to roll over once more

Sprawling out, curling in, avoiding that moment
Praying it's late + you've slept through

The radio noise, infiltrating sleep + dream
Glances at red glowing numbers, fuzzy
Rolling over, curling up, eyes close
Back to sleep, just once more

Oh, Bambola this was so lovely;
I can totally relate right now,
Insomnia is haunting and I am forver waking up!

"One eye open, praying it's early

I feel like this every morning.

This is so appropriate for me this morning ;-)

I agree with Chloie.

This is VERY appropriate for this morning. I think I recited this whilst rolling over this morning.

Posts like these are exactly why I started reading people's blogs in the first place.
