Bleary eyes
Dried and red
Pulling at the edge
And scraping under the lids
with every blink
Tired, surrender
Exhaustion and wishing for the deep slumber
While the mind stays, running in place
And the heartbeat vibrates a mad race pace
Quivering and keeping
Awake
Lying still
An hour or more
Hoping to settle
The herbal tea had no caffeine
You woke early and still feel
Awake
Wanting to sleep
