Insomnia
Ripping at my brain
I'm so scared to fall asleep
scared to find you again

Please keep me up
keep me from falling
The light is growing dimmer
I can hear sleep calling

No! No!
I must not fall asleep
I cant stand another night dreaming
Once again I cant afford to weep

So, if you see me sleeping
please dont hesitate to wake me
because you know not of what's in my mind
and how far my dreams often take me.

Ever seen Nightmare on Elm Street 1 - 5 or 6?
Do what they did, change the dream, so don't dream of him.... instead in your dreams create the perfect guy and rendevous' with him every night

Isis--
  I cant seem to write poems on good stuff so i chose to write them about depressing things...it's not always my emotions that im expressing but past ones that i have felt!

That is the thing we do take these poems literally a lot, perhaps we should all leave little notes, no I'm not depressed on the bottom?????

Isis--
  Let me explain my emotions...I dont feel depressed for losing him, just for losing the memories, the love, and the feeling of total happiness, so yes, maybe I am depressed but not for losing him, but for losing the one thing I found in him, can you understand?? sorry if this sounds alittle weird but i tried to describe it to the best of my ability. Thanks for listening

This struck a nerve -- I have been here before.  Thank you for sharing.

Excellent job...I haven't been in this particular situation before but you explained it well enough that it's almost as understandable as actually experiencing it.

Uh, been there.  Have subjected myself to bllod shot eye, caffeine wars with Nightmare most of my life.  Good poem...though a subject that thoroughly makes me cringe.
