Why Do You Sleep?
I sleep to escape the bitterness reality has to offer
I sleep so from pain I won’t have to suffer
I sleep to calm my unrested soul even for a while
I sleep to get myself to dream and smile
I sleep so I won’t have to say goodbye
To the same thing that makes me laugh and cry
I sleep so I can continue loving with all my heart
Perhaps in my sleep we will never be apart
If in my dreams you can return my love too
Then I won’t have to wake up and be blue
If in my dreams we can be together
I would sleep forever.

my mind runs like
empty trains as i stare
into the dark ceiling, wondering
what it would be like to dream.
o2
there are notions running through my head
that i cannot turn off,
that i cannot ignore.
i get up and write them down,
hoping that these thoughts will finally
quiet down and allow me to sleep.

rain drips, drips, drips
down the windowpanes and causes
havoc on my brain.
they demand attention even as i get up
once more and
wish for the sky to stop crying so much.

i count the jumping sheep and
5-6-7-8 wish for sleep to penetrate
through my shield of endless wake.
i notice that in the night light,

Sleep. Don't Weep.
I could never fight my own tears.
I cannot wipe yours.
But I promise you I will not ask anything.
I could never get over my own fears.
I cannot fight yours.
But I promise you I will be there when you come back.
Because we are the same.
We both feel and we both cry.
We both love and we both write.
I can tell what you are going through
because I have been there too.
And I promise you I would never lie.
It has been hard for you, I know,
but I cannot promise you things will get better.
Things never got better for me.
It is just that I don't cry anymore.
I cannot roll back those tears,
but I can show you some happy songs,

Dead in your bed
Black Roses are laid on a bed
Where you lay, unaware and dead.
Photographs are torn up,
While her tears fill millions of cups.
The lost look in her eyes,
Only attained when true love dies.
The loneliness in her voice,
And if it was her choice;
She'd be down there too,
Laying beside you

I wrote this when I got inspired by one question in my Mandarin quiz. My teacher likes putting miscellaneuos-for-fun questions, which we really don't have to answer, and one of those were "Why you like sleeping?". I just altered the title to "Why Do You Sleep?" I got inspired to write and the words just came pouring on me that I also was able to write 2 more poems after this. Whee~!
