Laying sprawled
across the bed
linens kicked aside
pillows scattered
my eyes open to the dark
why,no it was light just now
My body awakens to a coolness
why,it was insanely hot just now
The music pipes from a distant
the phone rings dreadfully
The cars speed up the hill
outside my window
No sleep
I gather the tall figure
some more towards the wall
oh the cool
one day it's going to be different
one day soon
it shall depart from me
or i from it
this aloneness that just almost drowns me, tonight
this boredom that near chokes me
this ache in my soul thirsts
for difference
for a new
for different
different
why do you sleep without me
why won't you wait for me to fall into the dream world first?
I close my eyes to the dark
when I open them
will the light be back already?

You'll do just fine my dear, phlebotomy is all about perfecting the art of practice, then in no time you'll be drawing away with your eyes closed or head turned backwards lol
