I CAN’T SLEEP *new poem*

..

I can’t sleep, there are just too many things running through my mind;
I think my heart is blurring my vision, but I was always warned that love is blind

..

I lay staring at a dark ceiling making pictures out of shadows, as the world around me is asleep;
Love has taught me to reap what I sow, but I just sow what I reap

..

Whispers in my ear leave me tossing and turning;
Love has left me feeling like a boy who still has to do so much learning

..

Behind closed eye lids my mind is still wide awake;
I have lived my life without regrets, but I have made more than one mistake

..

My phone is on silent, so I wouldn’t even know if someone was calling;
Love has dragged me under its spell, but I didn’t know how deep I was falling

..

Night time is so quiet, no sound of traffic, nobody knocking on my door;
In a few hours the sun will rise, and I wonder what tomorrow has in store

..

I wish I could sleep so I could dream about skies coloured in blue;
It doesn’t matter if I am awake or asleep, as all I can ever think about is you

..

I have lost all sense of time, is it really late, or is it really early, I really can no longer tell;
I am trapped in a never ending night, and this bed has become my cell

..

If love was this ink then I am drowning in the deep;
I have so many questions running through my mind, and the first one is
Why can’t I just fall asleep?

 ..

Teen First Love Poem

I'm just a dumb kid that fell in love. She doesn't love me. This is my first poem ever, and I didn't do any style, so no judging, please. These are just my feelings.

Cant sleep thinking of you poem
© Juan Escobar

Published: June 2010

I can't sleep at night because all I think about is you.
I can't pay attention in school cause all I think about is you.
My heart races when I get a text from you.
I smile when I see you walk and I stare when I hear you talk.
I get butterflies when I see you and when I kiss you too.
Your smile makes me smile.
Everything reminds me of you.
I see a cloud and you are the first thought in my head,
I see a movie, and it reminds me of you. 
I would do anything for you, and without you I'm nobody.
I need you with me so we can spend the night together and just cuddle.
I miss you.

    I don't go to sleep at night
    because you haunt my dreams,
    and waking up to find you're not here
    is harder than it seems.
    See, I'd rather stay awake at night
    because one thing I know is true,
    that without my dreams of us,
    I'll never be with you.
    So I don't close my eyes at night,
    and I don't go to sleep,
    because if I do,
    I'd have to admit defeat.
    So why don't you try living
    where you can't face your dreams,
    where every minute gets harder?
    well, that's the way it feels,
    and it's not that I can't sleep,
    because that I can do,
    but if I close my eyes at night
    then I am with you,
    and you may think that's what I want.
    And to point you would be true,
    but the reason I don't sleep at night
    is all down to you.
    I'd happily dream about you all day long
    Because in my dreams you care.
    It's the waking up without you
    That I cannot bear.
