Is it lack of sleep,
Or lack of love?
This aching in my
chest and head -
and eyes!

As if the lights
Are just too bright
Heavy lids.
Heavy thought.
I'm not gone mad -
Am I?

I can actually feel them
All clumped
And bundled together
Crowding in the space of my skull
Unable to express themselves
Individually

They just hang
Or sit, or stand
Or whatever it is they are doing
And sulk annoyingly

It's such a terrible weight to bear
Thoughts pour
Slow-moving and thick
Making me
Top-heavy
I'm not gone mad -
Am I?

Surely it must be
Lack of sleep!

Or is it lack of love?
