Sometimes

Clementine Heath

Sometimes
I want to sleep forever
Sleep forever and maybe
Wake-up never.

Sometimes
You make me think of you
It makes me sad
When I do.

Sometimes
All it takes
Is a little tequila
And some booty-shakes.

But most of the time
I have to be still
To quieten the voices
And know thy will.

We’ve danced this dance
For so long it seems,
I know you want to consume me
But you can’t have my dreams.

So I twist inside
Get lost and hide
Till you leave me
I won’t let you defeat me…

Sometimes.

One thought on “Sometimes”

  1. Yuck again a poem about “love”. Why are humans so obsessed by an illusion?
    And what’s about the easterbunny?
