Sleep does not come easy

 

Lying on the bed
In the still of the night
Darkness was of no solace
Sleep does not come easy

The scent of forgotten love,
Still lingers in the air
The taste of forbidden love,
A weird taste at the back of my tongue

Finding calm in the chaos within
Like a rudderless ship lost at sea
A muddled mind is of no comfort
Sleep does not come easy

The creatures in my mind,
Are dreaming of a paradise,
But sleep does not come easy

The scent,
The taste,
The memories.
