Secret Lovers

Mr. Insomnia and I have become secret lovers.
We're up through the dark, quiet hours
Tossing and turning, tearing up the sheets.
A nightly visit,
Time flies.
Lost in the heaviness of his black eyes,
My mind races.
The man my dreams wish they never met
Jealous of all the time spent.
Together through classic sitcoms, late-night social media posts and a number of lost sheep. Always a battle between the two,
Mr. Insomnia and The Dreams.
Back and forth, the two tugging from each arm.
Innocent dreams lose nightly to the temptations of Mr. Insomnia.
But before no time at all,
I drop the ball,
Letting The Dreams conquer.
And like a bat in the night,
He's gone before daybreak.
No matter how hard I try
Mr. Insomnia and I
Will live a secret love together forever.
