Melatonin
melatonin
A sleep inducing drug
prescribed for a heart like mine
A heart who is always sprinting
up a staircase that never
ever
ever
ends. and down and up and down again
It races it's way around my chest
And through my fingers
down to my toes
up up up through my neck
Beating into my head
spinning with stress
And to do lists
And places to be
And things I forgot
And the ever present need to scream
Sorry can't talk now!
Stop distracting me!
Please leave me alone so I can
Work
work
work
but then a soporific kiss and
My heart faints in it's place, still and
silent.
And we fall into a sleepy kiss that
slowly lays an ice cube on my burning heart
dims the fluorescent lights in my head
all I can think about
is you
Only place i need to be
Is here
You are my melatonin
You grab my stress
in your hands and throw it aside
You make my heart sleep
A peaceful dream
Finally resting after a 10 mile run
And I can't help but smile because
I feel at peace
I feel happy
And I can't help but hope
that the doctor prescribes me some more
Because this drug
is addicting
