Sleepless night

On this night my sleep eludes me,
Can I find the words to soothe my brain.
Can I stop it from pounding like a freight train,
Down the tracks with the clickety clack.
It's running, it's racing
For some reason I'm mentally pacing.

Is it thoughts of you again.
My lover, my almost, my always a friend.
I can't help but wonder, have you ever lost sleep over someone like me.
Have I ever kept you up, have I never let you simply be.

You ask me to define,
The "why me" the "why at this time".
The only answer I can give is this..
I had no choice, my mind was made up.

From day one you ran through my head.
Seems the only time ill rest is when I'm dead.

Author's Note

Someone tell me if this even makes sense. This is the product of not being able to sleep.. Any response is welcome!

Beautifully written. I can see you pacing, with your thought swimming around your head. It is very visual and I love how you put it in words. Well done

Thank you. This was a first attempt at anything even remotely close to this! I'm glad that in my rather exhausted state the thoughts came out at least understandable.

You are welcome.mystic are the ways of a poet drenching with heart consumed emotions and you conveyed it well
