[hometext] => Based on my childhood when I had insomnia. I wrote it like 5 minutes ago though.
[bodytext] => Would you believe me if I told you That I’m afraid I know that you don’t want to believe it As I curl into this ball of hate at the end of this bed that never sleeps I am fear Begging you not to turn out the light You wish I was bold and brave And with the same passion, I wish you’d stay I know how tired of me you’ve become And that you no longer have the will to care That every night I cannot sleep In fear, when I wake up you won’t be there Would you believe me if I told you That I’m scared to death That maybe if I stay awake you won’t leave As I lay here becoming another irritation that you cough up as you sleep I am fear Begging you to reassure me you won’t go You wish that maybe I’ll sleep this week And with the same passion, I wish you’d stay with me I’m sorry that you’ve become so tired That I haven’t slept for the 14th night in a row That I have an illogical insecurity That maybe one night you just might go One night when you reassured me I let go of my worries and finally slept On that night, I slept so peaceful You betrayed me and you left Tonight I will sleep tonight Something I no longer fear Because as you lay asleep in the next room I know you’re not really here [comments] => 2 [counter] => 178 [topic] => 48 [informant] => carmen_queasy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
