Late at night <br />Swollen eyes <br />Tired <br />Puffy. <br />I think of you. <br />Throat scratches <br />Screaming for liquid, <br />This bitter cold <br />Harsh on vocal chords. <br />I starve the thirst <br />Allow no salvation <br />Nor that soothing comfort. <br />Instead I think of you. <br />Body calm <br />Cool <br />Collected. <br />Mind shouts <br />Violence erupts. <br />Understanding lost, <br />Hope shattered. <br />Picture perfect worlds <br />Mock me <br />Out of reach. <br />Still I think of you. <br />The topic of my burning hands <br />Insomnia <br />Reverting withdrawal. <br />I think of you.<br /><br />Lily Espinosa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-sleep-neglects/
