Literature Text

Like an eternal dreamscape
We should always be together
But I'll let our love escape
By staying awake forever

It is the only known way
To stop my bad dreams
It's safe to sleep in the day
Or maybe that's just how it seems

I'm hiding underneath my bed
I'll wait until it's all over
I've got to remember the things you said
I think that means staying sober

I don't reckon I can stay awake
For a moment longer
You've had more Valium than you can take
And I thought that you were stronger

Watching you where you lie
Fighting those fatigued eyes from closing
We're both asleep now so why
Is this love still decomposing?
Wrote this last week, when I couldn't sleep.

Excellent ABAB pattern, but your rhythm is still off if you're trying to keep it going like a limerick. Condence the wording maybe?

Your talent in poetry improves with each poem, don't forget that! You have a real talent! :hug: :+fav:
