Sound garden

The streetlights shine through my window
The sound of slowing traffic hits my ears
I can feel the chill of the night on my skin
Goosebumps randomly appear
Like specks of dust on my tv stand
I should sleep
Yet the subtle variations of sound
keep me intrigued
sirens in the distance
Chattering girls after a night out
The Closing of taxi doors
Couples saying goodnight
Giggles and flirtations
Completely oblivious to me tuning in
Thinking of all the times I was them
I close the window
Pull up the blankets
Now all I can hear are my own thoughts
Dripping through my mind like the
Constant Dripping of the bathroom tap
You never did fix
I close my eyes
And remind myself i have a lifetime
To fill with subtle variations
And I should sleep to ensure
I have the energy to embrace them
