I am exhausted So very, very tired Unable to sleep Snuggled in my bed My eyes won't close I hear my heart beating Like a drum on a still summer night Echoing through the ethers Minutes tick by Hours crawl past me I need sleep, deep sleep I crave it But I wonder if I crave you even more Or is it the gnawing emptiness that keeps me awake? My ears long to hear your voice resonate within me I crave your flesh against mine Your warmth under my skin And your touch..... yes, I crave your touch... Touch me with hands covered in fruit juice Leave a sticky residue all over me So when your body presses against mine We stick together Oh, I really need to feel your energy surge through me... down through my bones and out my toes (Sigh) I am so tired...... so very, very tired And yet, at 3 a.m. I lie here half awake Consumed with thoughts of you. Before my body shuts down from exhaustion I need to hear your heart beat Need to feel your pulse To know I am still alive Like a stereo blaring Or a horn constantly honking You are the barking dog that Keeps me awake all night long Your absence engulfs me What good would it do To turn off the light?
