sleep, in all it’s mundanity

  recently had understood what 

distractions meant


tools, used to fill your mind with

a lie to escape the truth 


and as you lie in bed

the warmth you've shared

the laughs you've had 

the glances you've stolen 


all come rushing in 


and you push it all away 

as you grab your phone from the bedside table 

insomnia 

some may call it


to you it's a routine 


you can't close your eyes for a second

because you know who'd you see

the boogeyman
