eyelids

[DJ_Tanner]

sleep -
the endless dreams and scenery
that rattle under my eyelids are missing.
I am unable to get to that ambiguous state
of walking when my feet don’t reach the ground while getting nowhere,
of making out with best friends
and killing the ones I love the most,
getting lost in the nonsense, the familiar streets, and the haunted houses with walls that tease
me and then collapse.
all my senses are acute but I don’t feel a thing
until the swirl of golds and reds and violets fade –
my heart begins to ache –
if i could only fall asleep
i could easily awake.

I really like this.

My favorite part is

"getting lost in the nonsense, the familiar streets, and the haunted houses with walls that tease
me and then collapse.

You really let people know how you feel through your writing. I could feel it as I read
