"Don't Want To Sleep"

不想睡 by 游喧

Still okay? I ask myself, silently
I turn on the tv, once broken and quiet
A repeat of an old movie, not a surprising plot
The same monologue of a feeling of insomnia

Again one night, I don't want to sleep, I'd like to say love is too boring
It's not enough to stir up the feeling of an emotional song with me nestled, able to touch someone
Still not tired, don't want to sleep, nor want sleep to come accompany me
Too many threads of memories

At the transition to night, drawing upon a cigarrette is too hypocritical
A slow, deep breath of a sigh
Indifferent to the bad weather of the past, uneven at the point of hysteria
I obediently close my eyes, still clear headed.
