sleep comes no more at night
only the haunt of your breath
and the absence of your arm
in a drowsy drape
over my longing for sleep form.

tears reside in wide open eyes
a dangerous thing for a girl
already on the edge of loosing her very self
to the process of lost love
once more
healing only to be torn again

there is no pity in the mistress
of a sleepless night.
She demands your knees bent
in a position that honors
and as your wide open eyes
bedeck her unforgiving insomnia gallery
there are dreams that you miss

tears reside
insomnia eyes
dangerous girl dreams on the edge of love
tipping the cup
precariously liquid
her dreams topple over
but will she get her lips there in time to drink
or will the dreams escape
and soak into the fabric of failure once more?

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.

You are writing through your pain well.  This is hautingly beautiful and so well written.

you lead the way to a place where few of us dare to venture. . . that's what makes your words so real. . .

if only everyone else knew. . . perhaps they will. . .with this bump. . .

excellent. . .

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Jenn, this is so very sad, sweet friend, my heart goes out to many of the youth today who toil with this kind of grief, my prayers are with them all and I hope they can always find peace within the tears, this is powerfully compassionate, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Jennifer, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

When a poem causes one to think, then it is written well. This is good word, Jennifer, but then, your poetry always is.
