Insomnia

A battle I can't seem to win...

I'm wide awake.
It's 2 am.
Alone with my thoughts.
A dangerous thing.

I should be tired.
Should be asleep.
Dreaming of him, and the

happiness he brings.

Instead, I'm awake.
Thinking of my mistakes.
Past and present.
And the future ones, that
will no doubt, take place.

Your annoyance with
my need of reassurance.
What can I do?

A tear slides down my cheek.
I try like mad, to fight the demon
who steals my sleep.

I'm wide awake.
It's 4am.
I don't know,
how to deal.

So sorry you have to go through this my friend... I had a bad case of insomnia during my fourth term at university, so bad in fact, it prevented me from going to most of my classes... I flunked that term... from time to time I still suffer from a sleepless night, however, nothing as intense as I did during that lonely, awful winter.... I hope sleep comes to you soon, my friend... chin up...

The restless of mind in slumbers of tossing of thoughts in night. Nice write!
