I Hate Pillows
I hate pillows
Their efforts to compare are fruitless and futile, comic
Yet I clutch to them and attempt to dive deeply into delirium and dream of a girl I knew
Hours ago
Yet, my efforts are fruitless and futile, comic
I fall deeper into insomnia and ache
Come back and never leave
Never leave me
Even when you’re gone.
Poem by Joe Sweeney.
