Hard Heart

4 2 1
                                    

Too much on my mind ,
At this time of night. 

Sounds of cars and tractor trailers drift from the highway to my ears but they don't stop the noise in my head.

Nothing stops that noise.

No more sleeping for me. Sitting up, I swivel to my left , feet touching to feel .

This carpet used to be so soft and luxurious. Now it's just flat and hard.

It reminds me of my heart.
