Dreaming Awake

If I were to count up

All the lost hours

Of sleep in the night due

To my heart

I imagine we would find

The cause of my insomnia

There is never enough

Time in the daylight for

Dreaming awake

I hope tonight I fall

Asleep on the couch

In the middle of everything

Rulers and pencils in

The carpet

Laptop whirring quietly

I don’t want to sleep

In my bed

Sometimes it’s better to

Rest away 

From who you are

Once and a while
