at night

sleep does not come when 
the quiet grows calmer
a cage around me 

to keep me safe

a wall around me 
it keeps me awake                          at night

at some ungodly hour
I'm in pursuit
of what they'll call
my mis-spent youth
all in the comfort of my own home
the heart in my chest is a siren's drone

when
through a window pane
                                         some lamplight flashes

you.  and.  I.  my.  dear.  we're.  in.  different.  classes.

 

our. own.

I enjoyed this. Always great to see poems that aren't anchored to the left. I'm never brave enough to it myself but you're tempting me!

Glad you enjoyed it londoncalling! Layout is something I'm enjoying experimenting with at the minute, always worth a try!
