No More Dreams Tonight

3 part poem-ish

I lie awake
Counting the tiles on my ceiling
I lie awake
Listening to the fan dancing
Above my ceiling
I lie awake and I think
I think thoughts
“No more dreams tonight”
I say to myself
Like a mantra
More like a prayer

I lie awake
Afraid to fall asleep
I pray there to be
No more dreams tonight
--

I hold your hand
Placed it within mine
And whispered to your ear
“Do you remember the time…”

Unrealistic, must be a dream
Look up to the sky
The world tearing by its seam

Off in the distance
There was a fallen tree
And I felt the eyes
Of the withered leaves
Staring at me

Turning around now
I grab your hand
"Why don’t we go
Somewhere only we know.."
I can take us away from here
You know, that place
At the end of the rainbow

Something we dreamed of
--

I told myself
No more dreams tonight
How did I lose the fight
To you
Or to myself
I’m not quite sure anymore
