7:40

I slept on the living room floor last night.
It sucked.

A Tale of Two Cities doesn't make sense, and I know because I tried to read it downstairs with a tired mind.

And when I finally went to bed, it was after 1:00...

The blankets were too short and too warm,
and the room was too cold and too bright.

I willed myself to sleep even though I was perfectly awake and held up by the hurts in my back and my toes.

I woke up at dawn because people were leaving, I saw the truck lights shining into the window. I passed out again and dreamt.

I got woken up again at 7:40 by songs over top of my songs and blankets being pulled over my head, because people had been waiting.

I packed up and moved back into my room, to sleep on my floor.

Downstairs it hadn't been dark enough, but it had been perfectly cold.
Upstairs it wasn't cold enough, but it was perfectly dark.

So I curled up and tried to relax.

It sort of worked, but not really.
And now my tummy hurts and my chest feels like an empty hole.

So I laid upstairs in the cold and the dark
And waited for you to come and take the cold and the dark away...
A message I wrote to my friend after having a super crappy night (i was very ill at the time) and reading some of [link] 's poetry on dA... I just found it again and thought I'd share. I always sort of liked it...
