Insomniac Poem by Liv Mealone

Lying down on my bed
Thoughts running through my head
Wishing hard for sleep to come
Hoping to feel the calm
Wishing I could forget
And put my mind to rest.

My heart’s caught in a groove
Somehow it wants to prove
Love is a choice to make
I can no longer take.

How the night can be so cruel
Too dark and long and quiet
Oh trade me one more day
To live and have my say
Before sleep forever claims me.

Oh, love, I do love you
I've dreamt to be with you
But death won't let me go
Locked me up deep and low
So whenever you pass by my stone
Plant a flower but do not mourn.

Remember me as the dew
So fresh & clear on a day that's new
Remember me as the song
Touching your heart as it plays along.

Remember me as the smile
That creased your lips and leave no guile
Remember me as the love
Flying around your heart like a dove
Yes, remember me as the happiness
That fills your heart with mirth endless.

Wherever heavens lead you
Whenever memories visit you
Whoever fate shall bring to you
Remember that my love
Will always find you
Cuz wherever I may be
In my heart there you will be.
