tired
but the brain won’t quit
exhausted
head still thrumming
at full speed

visions of you
like sugar plum fairies
dancing
whispering
screaming

even
in near passing out
conditions
you
keep me awake

if i could hear you
say those
magic words

all would be right

instead
i will hear them
in my head
as
i try and sleep

i just wish you
were
really real
not an illusion
delusion
mental contusion

in my
sleep deprived
mind state
