"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Sleep at 3pm
No problem
But at 3am
Not a chance
What the fuck
Is wrong
With me
That sleep
At night
Just won’t
Advance
The Insomniac’s Paradox
Why should I bother
Going to bed
When there’s nothing
To wake up for
Why should I bother
Waking up
When I enjoy sleeping
So much more

I may spend time lying down
But not much of that is sleeping
It’s existential dread
That fills my head
And that’s not to mention the weeping
Forty Winks
Why do
I bother
coming
to bed
It’s not
like I
can
sleep
All I
do is
fucking
lie here
Overthinking
and
counting
sheep

Put lavender on your pillow
He said
Or drink some chamomile tea
I’ve tried every pill know to man
She said
So I doubt they’ll work for me
In The North
It never quite gets dark
This time of year
Which makes the sky so pretty
But when you’re already
Struggling to sleep
It is also kinda shitty

Hoping this pill proves fruitful
That it will work as designed
So I swallow another scoopful
To quiet the chaos in my mind
Five A Day
An
apple
a day
may
keep
the
doctor
away.
But
it’s a
pill
at night
that makes
me feel
alright.

Lying in bed
Late at night
I turn over
With a sigh
I reach out
With my hand
But it’s empty
Where you’d lie
Xxx
What the fuck
Are you still doing up
Don’t you know
It’s quarter past four?
Well of course I do
But it’s nothing new
To find I can’t sleep
Anymore
Why should I bother
Going to bed
When there's nothing
To wake up for
Why should I bother
Waking up
When I enjoy sleeping
So much more
This bed’s not big enough
For the both of us
So I’ll be the one to leave
We should just be glad
For the time we’ve had
And the little bit of reprieve
I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
But it didn’t work
And now I’m awake
Do I have any choice
But my life to take?
Finally
dropping
into
bedKnowing
I couldn’t
have done
any moreThere’s
no point
setting
an alarmAs
there’s
nothing
to wake
up for
Please
make
sure
you
bury
me
deep
So
I can
finally
get
some
fucking
sleep
Was
I always
wrong
Or was
I sometimes
right
Not that
it matters
anyway
Now I’m
alone at
night
Lying here
Just us two
Isn’t the same
Without you
Xxx
How
the
fuck
can
it be
right
That
I have
to sleep
alone
tonight
I never
thought
that I
would be
On my
own at
thirty
three
I’ll
never
be able
to give
you
Exactly
what
you
want
I can
be
your
standby
fuck
buddy
But
never
your
confidant
Evening:
You
really
are
amazing
He
said
That
was
the
best
yet
You
don’t
need
to tell
me
She
said
Now
pass
me a
cigarette
I’ve
slept
most
of the
night
tonight
And I
haven’t
yet
got
out
of bed
I wish
I could
say
I am
ill or
something
But
it’s
actually
just
apathy
instead
I
don’t
mind
being
asleep
It’s the
waking
up I
don’t
care
for
You
were
in my
dreams
last night
We
kissed
longingly
by the
fire
Although
I woke
with a
painful
fright
It
didn’t
quite
quench
my desire
I’m
only happyWhen
I’m dreamingOf
you
I wish
I spent
more time
sleeping
Instead
of all
this
weeping
It would
be nice to
do some
dreaming
As
opposed
to all this
screaming
Not only
did I
sleep
last nightI
also
dreamt
of youI
woke
up
cryingWith
my
insides
dyingOh why
can’t my
dreams
come true?
Waking
in the
dead
of night
Trying
to choke
back my
tears
It doesn’t
matter
how much
I fight
I cannot
sleep
through
my fears
It’s the time
between
waking up
and going
to sleep
that I’ve
always
found
the most
troublesome
I really
should
get out
of bedAnd do
something
less boring
instead
