"Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you."


Struggling through a sea of crumpled white bedsheets,
hazy with insomnia,
I stumble to the window
to seek freedom and comfort
from under a quilt of dewy stars.
I stand alone in the quiet,
the moon my protector.
Half swaddled in dreams,
peering down upon the wide stretch of darkness,
mind unfolding like an abyss.
I hope for the sun to come quickly,
else I be trapped in this void.
I sink under white waves.


The author's comments:
There have been nights where I have experienced insomnia, and the topic seemed very appealing to get figuratively lost in. I just had to write about it.
