Sleepless Nights
April 3, 2013
Eyes. I close my eyes,
Hoping to soon fall asleep,
All becomes dark,
When suddenly it starts,
The images begin to repeat.
Walls. White walls,
Stare at me for hours,
They serve as shields,
For they won't yield,
The scenes that devour.
Time. Sweet time,
Ticks by without warning,
It's no surprise
Their words are lies,
Time can't heal this mourning.

This is impeccable! I don't think I have ever read a limerick, I wish that I had before, because this was amazing. The form is so special and nice, I really like it! I'm glad I got to read my first limerick by you, such a great writer! The rhymes in here are very soft and sweet, I liked them a lot! I feel like this all the time while I sleep, but you were able to capture a feeling in such a sincere way. This was clear and vivid! Great job!
