Dreaming with My Eyes Wide Open

Poetry Now Version

I can't sleep.

Tonight, I lie awake, and your memory is all I see.

Your image lingers behind my eyelids.

I can’t help but think of how you move—

so graceful, like an oak dancing in the spring breeze.

I’m lost in thoughts of how you speak—

so soothing, like gentle waves kissing the shore.

And your beauty? It’s a sight to behold—

as radiant as a sunset marking the day’s end,

and the night’s beginning.

Another sleepless night,

because you’re all I can think about.

— Poetic Rizz

I can't sleep

I'm lying here tonight and I keep thinking of you

Your image lingers behind my eyelids

Thinking about the way you move

So elegant, like an oak tree swaying on a spring breeze

Thinking about the way you talk

So calm, like tiny waves gently lapping at the shoreline

Thinking about your beauty

So glorious like the sunset

Which marks the end of another day

Preparing for the beginning of another night

Another night which I'm unable to sleep

Because I keep thinking of you

— Benn Nicholas Dillon
