turning over my own
life of complex emotional
states and badly timed
snide remarks.

you say things, i stop
listening. deleting each
letter, forgetting the context.
just want to sleep.

before i was pining,
now i am disillusioned
and staring under my eyelids
at images highlighted in front of me.
i'm not listening.

i turned around and let
you do whatever it is that 
you do. you are oblivious.

and i, just want to sleep.
