Sleepless

You told me sleep is for the weak.

1.
You told me sleep is for the weak-
I don't ever want to sleep again.
Instead I will stare at my celing
and count the glow-in-the-dark stars
and pretend you are there not sleeping, too.

2.
I am restless without you.

3.
Somehow I am still functioning
on 48-hours without sleep;
it must be adrenaline or something.

4.
You look as though you have slept forever,
on a goose-down pillow and 300-thread-count sheets.
You probably sleep all the time.

5.
You lied to me.
Sleep is for the weak.
