Like a person lying in bed

Posted on by Lazarus Shatipamba

Strong lives are motivated by dynamic purposes.

Kenneth Hildebrand

Thoughts of you were tossing and turning in my head
like a person lying in bed
making themselves comfortable in my mind.

I tried, but failed to put them to sleep
for they were too deep in a state of restlessness
thinking about the nightmare of losing you.

The best I could do was blanket them
with the knowledge that all this was but a bad dream.
That one day I will wake up
and you’ll be right here, next to me
where you are supposed to be.

Hi there! My name is Lazarus but my friends call me Laza. You can too. I'm a young adult from the sunny, windy city of Windhoek, who is on an odyssey of sorts. Call it a spiritual journey through my imagination into my soul, to discover what keeps me whole, and brings me closer to my Higher Self.

  1. I relate to this but i don’t know if we are on the same line, well I almost hate longing for someone bcs it keeps me waiting and stressing out and bcs of that my thoughts are dominated by only thoughts of them and nothing else~ 😭

    1. I’m always glad if you can relate. I think we’re definitely on the same line. I too dislike it when my thoughts are dominated by memories of someone or something I can’t have. Hopefully, we’ll find people worthy to be on our minds constantly
