Please let me sleep

by Ginette T Belle

Early morning snow
Mixed with one churning stomach
Sleep escapes me under the covers
Where I am hopelessly falling
Down, down to this unreachable place
Wish it would just come to me
On a platter or plate
So close to my doorway
So far from inside
This is some form of torture I am sure
To see her in sitting in my seat

Ouch! Love how this poem tumbles the reader down also to that final painful, evocative, 'says it all' line.

I can't say it any better than Chris, so...DITTO! Well done.

what a heartdropping piece...and a visible scar.
