Love Hangover

I was drunk with love for You
Stink with it
It oozed from my pores
And covered me in such a sheen
That people said I have a glow
I glowed…for You

But this morning I awoke
I was sober
Along with sobriety came the Love Hangover
Making me sick
I fell to my knees and bruised them on the way
I slumped against the wall
Too weak to stand
I wanted to retch but nothing came

I remembered that what I need to purge is embedded in my mind and burrowed in my heart
And that’s when the tears fell
Hundreds of tears
Bitter and salty
I tasted some and wiped away others
I needed something to do with my hands
Before they betrayed me
Before they found their way to the keypad
To dial your number
To ask You to console and love me
Before they could text You, “Come Over.”

But I willed myself to be still
To remember this feeling
My eyes are dry and now
I am sober
No more heartache
From this Love Hangover

Sleepless in Brooklyn…

Sleepless in Brooklyn doesn’t sound as “sexy” as being “Sleepless in Seattle” but we end up doing the same things wherever we are being sleepless. All attempts to go back to sleep have been futile of course. Struggling still with my “thinkaholic” diagnosis is most challenging on sleepless nights such as this one. There are too many things for me to mull over and too many things for me to do when I wake up in the middle of the night. I get on my crackberry and start “bbming” my fellow crackberry owners as we are united in our sleeplessness. I go online and watch youtube videos about everything under the sun and now I’ve come back to my first love – writing. I churn out my best work when I’ve been asleep for two hours and have to wake up in three. The pressure to go back to sleep forces me to put out something really good for the masses and then when it’s finally out I feel so relieved. It’s almost like giving birth, just a shorter, cleaner, inanimate version LOL. Anyway, I really must go back to the task that I was pursuing prior to writing this pointless blog about me and my sleepless nights. I shall work harder than ever before, with a renewed vision of me sleeping peacefully like a baby with no cares in the world J
